In the legend of the Sabaoth Seven, a young Sabaoth quested in the Nether Realms in order to prove himself, and faced seven demons, each of whom was a combination of Eeee and some dumb beast indigenous to the lands of Ashdod. He outwitted or outfought each of these creatures, and enslaved them to serve as guardians of the throne of Ashdod. There are some variations in this myth that suggest that it may predate the rule of the Sabaoth, and instead was applied to some legendary (and possibly fictitious) ruler of old.

Near as can be told, the earliest versions of this story actually only had six demons. It was later that each demon was associated with a different goddess, giving each demon the dual role of protecting the ruler of Ashdod, and also serving the Seven Sisters.

Tales involving the Sabaoth Seven vary greatly in tone. In some tales, they are heroic, one by one giving their lives to preserve the Sabaoth or some favored servant of his. In others of more recent composition, they are more comical than useful, existing solely to be defeated by some foe, who then in turn is smitten by the Sabaoth himself. Chezek is the least fearsome of the group, and seems to exist only as a jester-type of character in the myths.

Here is a listing of the demons, and the goddess each is sometimes associated with.
