Numbers 22:35-37

Living Bible

³⁵ But the Angel told him, “Go with the men, but say only what I tell you to say.” So Balaam went on with them. ³⁶ When King Balak heard that Balaam was on the way, he left the capital and went out to meet him at the Arnon River, at the border of his land.

³⁷ “Why did you delay so long?” he asked Balaam. “Didn’t you believe me when I said I would give you great honors?”
