14. And the leaders of Moab rose up, and they went unto Balak, and said, Balaam refuses to come with us.
15. And Balak sent yet again leaders, more, and more honorable than they.
16. And they came to Balaam, and said to him, Thus says Balak the son of Zippor, Let nothing, I pray you, hinder you from coming unto me:
17. For I will promote you unto very great honor, and I will do whatsoever you say unto me: come therefore, I pray you, curse for me this people.
