The children of Israel also killed Balaam, the son of Beor, the soothsayer, with the sword, among the rest of their slain.

Then Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, arose and fought against Israel. He sent and called Balaam the son of Beor to curse you;

but I would not listen to Balaam; therefore he blessed you still. So I delivered you out of his hand.
