The officials of Moab arose, returned to Balak, and reported, “Balaam refused to come with us.”
So Balaam got up the next morning and said to Balak’s officials, “Go back to your land, because the Lord has refused to let me go with you.”
Balak sent officials again who were more numerous and higher in rank than the others.
Balak asked Balaam, “Did I not send you an urgent summons? Why didn’t you come to me? Am I really not able to reward you? ”
