Numbers 22:15-20

International Children’s Bible

¹⁵ So Balak sent other leaders. He sent more leaders this time. And they were more important. ¹⁶ They went to Balaam and said, “Balak son of Zippor says this: Please don’t let anything stop you from coming to me. ¹⁷ I will pay you well. I will do what you say. Come and put a curse on these people for me.”

¹⁸ 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. ¹⁹ You stay here tonight as the other men did. I will find out what more the Lord tells me.”

²⁰ That night God came to Balaam. He said, “These men have come to ask you to go with them. Go. But only do what I tell you.”
