And Balak the son of Zippor saw all that Israel had done to the Amorites.

And Moab said to the elders of Midian, Now will this company lick up all that is round about us, as an ox licks up the green herb of the field. Now Balak the son of Zippor was king of Moab at that time.

And Balaam said to God, Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, hath sent unto me,

And they came to Balaam, and said to him, Thus says Balak the son of Zippor: Suffer not thyself, I pray thee, to be restrained from coming to me;

Then he took up his parable and said, Rise up, Balak, and hear! hearken unto me, son of Zippor!

And Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, arose and warred against Israel, and sent and called Balaam the son of Beor to curse you;

Now are you any better than Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab? Did he ever strive against Israel, or did he ever go to war with them?
