Numbers 22:36-40

³⁶And Balak heard that Bileam was coming, and went forth to meet him, at a city of Moab which is upon the border of Arnon, on the side of the frontier.

³⁷And Balak said to Bileam, Did not I sending send for thee to call thee? Why didst thou not come to me? Hast thou not indeed said that I am not able to do thee honour?

³⁸And Bileam said to Balak, Behold, I have come to thee: but even now, have’ I really any power to speak anything? The word which the Lord putteth into my mouth I will speak.

³⁹And Bileam went with Balak, and they came to a city of his territory.

⁴⁰And Balak slaughtered oxen and sheep, and sent to Bileam and to the princes who were with him.
