Balaam also son of Beor, the diviner, did the sons of Israel slay with the sword among their slain.

Then rose up Balak, son of Zippor, king of Moab, and made war with Israel, - and sent and called for Balaam son of Beor, to curse you;

but I was not willing to hearken unto Balaam, - so, he kept on blessing, you, and I rescued you out of his hand.
