14So the chiefs of Moab went back to Balak and said, Balaam will not come with us.
15So Balak sent more chiefs, greater in number and of higher position than the others.
16And they came to Balaam and said, Balak, son of Zippor, says, Let nothing keep you from coming to me:
17For I will give you a place of very great honour, and whatever you say to me I will do; so come, in answer to my prayer, and put a curse on this people.
18But Balaam, in answer; said to the servants of Balak, Even if Balak gave me his house full of silver and gold, it would not be possible for me to do anything more or less than the orders of the Lord my God.
19So take your rest here this night, till I have knowledge what more the Lord has to say to me.
20And that night God came to Balaam and said to him, If these men have come for you, go with them: but do only what I say to you.
