Numbers 22:14

Contemporary English Version (Anglicised) 2012

The officials left and told Balak that Balaam refused to come.

See the chapter Copy

The next morning, Balaam said to Balak's officials, “Go back home. The LORD says I cannot go with you.”

Then Balak sent a larger group of officials, who were even more important than the first ones.

Balak asked, “Why didn't you come when I invited you the first time? Did you think I wasn't going to pay you?”
