Balaam told God, “Balak, son of Zippor, the king of Moab, sent me this message:
‘Listen, a group of people has arrived here who came from Egypt. There are hordes of them. Please come immediately and curse these people for me. Maybe then I'll be able to fight them and drive them out of my country.’”
God came to Balaam and asked him, “Who are these men staying with you?”
Among those killed were the five kings of Midian, Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur, and Reba. They also killed Balaam, son of Beor, with the sword.
