Numbers 22:36-41

³⁶When King Balak heard that Balaam was coming, he went to meet him at a Moab town alongside the Arnon River that was at the border of his own land.

³⁷When he arrived where Balaam was, he said to him, “I sent you RHQ a message saying that you should come immediately RHQ! Why did you not come immediately? Did you think that I was not able to pay you a lot of money for coming?”

³⁸Balaam replied, “I have come here now, but I am not able to say anything that I want to. I will say only the words that God tells me to say MTY.”

³⁹Then Balaam went with Balak to Kiriath-Huzoth town.

⁴⁰There Balak killed some cattle and sheep as sacrifices, and offered parts of the meat to Balaam and the leaders who were with him.

⁴¹They slept there, and the next morning Balak took Balaam part way up the mountain to Bamoth-Baal village. From there, they could see some of the Israeli people who were down below.
