Numbers 22:2-4

New International Reader's Version

² Balak saw everything that Israel had done to the Amorites. Balak was the son of Zippor. ³ The Moabites were terrified because there were so many Israelites. In fact, the Moabites were filled with panic because of the Israelites.

⁴ The Moabites spoke to the elders of Midian. They said, “This huge mob is going to destroy everything around us. They’ll lick it up as an ox licks up all the grass in the fields.”

Balak, the son of Zippor, was the king of Moab at that time.
