And the princes of Moab rose up, and they went to Balak, and said, Balaam refuseth to come with us.
And Balaam rose in the morning, and said to the princes of Balak, Depart into your land: for the LORD refuseth to give me leave to go with you.
And Balak sent yet again princes, more, and more honorable than they.
And Balak said to Balaam, Did I not earnestly send to thee to call thee? why camest thou not to me? am I not able indeed to promote thee to honor?
