who in every danger will come to our aid."

Answer:

Lord Shamash will help Gilgamesh defeat

Humbaba.

Step-by-step explanation:

Gilgamesh and Enkidu are characters from the Mesopotamian epic poem "Epic of Gilgamesh".

Although started as rivals, the two become best friends setting out to many adventures, including fight with Humbaba, amongst others.

Stating that Gilgamesh's dream of a gigantic bull was "favorable" and that the bull represents Shamash, who "in every danger will come to our aid", Enkidu reveals that the Lord Shamash is on their side and that will help them fight and defeat Humbaba.
