37 And Balak said unto Ba´laam, Did I not earnestly send unto thee to call thee? wherefore camest thou not unto me? am I not able indeed to promote thee to honor?
38 And Ba´laam said unto Balak, Lo, I am come unto thee: have I now any power at all to say any thing? the word that God putteth in my mouth, that shall I speak.
39 And Ba´laam went with Balak, and they came unto Kir´jath–hu´zoth.
40 And Balak offered oxen and sheep, and sent to Ba´laam, and to the princes that were with him.
41 And it came to pass on the morrow, that Balak took Ba´laam, and brought him up into the high places of Ba´al, that thence he might see the utmost part of the people.
