Numbers 22:36-40

36When King Balak heard that Balaam was on the way, he went out to meet him at a Moabite town on the Arnon River at the farthest border of his land.

37“Didn’t I send you an urgent invitation? Why didn’t you come right away?” Balak asked Balaam. “Didn’t you believe me when I said I would reward you richly?”

38Balaam replied, “Look, now I have come, but I have no power to say whatever I want. I will speak only the message that God puts in my mouth.”

39Then Balaam accompanied Balak to Kiriath-huzoth,

40where the king sacrificed cattle and sheep. He sent portions of the meat to Balaam and the officials who were with him.
