And the leaders of Moab arose and came to Balak and said, “Balaam refused to go with us.”
So Balaam arose in the morning and said to Balak’s leaders, “Go back to your land, for Yahweh has refused to allow me to go with you.”
Then Balak again sent leaders, more numerous and more honorable than the former.
Then Balak said to Balaam, “Did I not urgently send to you to call you? Why did you not come to me? Am I indeed unable to honor you?”
