Balak Sends More Honorable Princes
Numbers 22:15-21
15
Balak again sent princes, more of them and of higher status than the first group.
16
They went to Bil'am and said to him, "Here is what Balak the son of Tzippor says: 'Please don't let anything keep you from coming to me.
17
I will reward you very well, and whatever you say to me I will do. So please come, and curse this people for me.'"
18
Bil'am answered the servants of Balak, "Even if Balak were to give me his palace filled with silver and gold, I cannot go beyond the word of ADONAI my God to do anything, great or small.
19
Now, please, you too, stay here tonight; so that I may find out what else ADONAI will say to me."
20
God came to Bil'am during the night and said to him, "If the men have come to summon you, get up and go with them; but do only what I tell you."
21
So Bil'am got up in the morning, saddled his donkey and went with the princes of Mo'av.
