Balaam also the son of Beor, the soothsayer, did the children of Israel slay 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 unto Balaam; therefore he blessed you still: so I delivered you out of his hand.
