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

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

but I would not hearken to Balaam. Therefore he blessed you greatly. So I delivered you out of his hand.
