So the princes of Moab departed and went back to Balak and said, “Balaam refused to come with us.”
So Balaam got up in the morning, and said to the princes of Balak, “Go to your land, for the Lord has refused to permit me to go with you.”
Balak again sent princes, more numerous and more distinguished than the first.
Balak said to Balaam, “Did I not send again and again to you to summon you? Why did you not come to me? Am I not able to honor you?”
