From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Balak takes Balaam up to Bamoth-Baal to curse the Israelites, but instead Balaam blesses them. Balaam states that he could only repeat what God put in his mouth. Balak takes Balaam to the summit of Pisgah, and once again Balaam blesses Israel. Balak tells Balaam at least not to bless them, but Balaam replies that he must do whatever God directs.
