Numbers 22:15-22

So Balak sent other leaders—this time there were more of them, and they were more important. They went to Balaam and said, “Balak son of Zippor says this: Please don’t let anything stop you from coming to me. I will pay you very well, and I will do what you say. Come and put a curse on these people for me.” But Balaam answered Balak’s servants, “King Balak could give me his palace full of silver and gold, but I cannot disobey the LORD my God in anything, great or small. You stay here tonight as the other men did, and I will find out what more the LORD tells me.” That night God came to Balaam and said, “These men have come to ask you to go with them. Go, but only do what I tell you.” Balaam got up the next morning and put a saddle on his donkey. Then he went with the Moabite leaders. But God became angry because Balaam went, so the angel of the LORD stood in the road to stop Balaam. Balaam was riding his donkey, and he had two servants with him.
