Now Baal wants his own palace but is afraid to build without the consent of El and afraid to ask. So he asks Anat if she will go with him and intercede on his behalf. She agrees but suggests that they solicit Asherah's help as well. Baal leads a donkey, which Asherah rides, with Anat walking behind. They arrive at Har Mo'ed and talk to El. El doesn't mind at all but says he will not build the palace for Baal. Baal says of course . . . and asks Kothar to build it for him. Kothar begins building and says he ought to put a window in the turret, but Baal refuses. Kothar reluctantly leaves out the window. Eventually the palace is finished. All the gods ask why there isn't a window. Baal fears that Yamm will sneak in through the window and kill him. So he thinks to do the same to Yamm. He kills Yamm, and then asks Kothar to put the window in after all. It is from that window that Baal hurls his lightning bolts.
Baal builds a palace -> parallel to Enki's palace
