And the princes of Moab rose up, and they went to Balak, and said, Balaam refuses to come with us.
And Balak said to Balaam, Did I not earnestly send to you to call you? why came you not to me? am I not able indeed to promote you to honor?
And Balaam rose up in the morning, and said to the princes of Balak, Get you into your land: for the LORD refuses to give me leave to go with you.
And Balak sent yet again princes, more, and more honorable than they.
