Numbers 22:15 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 22:15

And Balak sent yet again princes more, and more honourable
than they.
] More in number, and greater in quality, princes of the first rank in his court; supposing that Balaam thought he was not treated with respect enough, they being princes of the meaner sort, and but few, that were sent unto him before, which he imagined was the reason, at least one reason, why he refused to come with them; persons of Balaam's character in those days being highly revered.

Numbers 22:15 In-Context

13 The next morning Balaam went to Balak's messengers and said, "Go back home; the Lord has refused to let me go with you."
14 So they returned to Balak and told him that Balaam had refused to come with them.
15 Then Balak sent a larger number of leaders, who were more important than the first.
16 They went to Balaam and gave him this message from Balak: "Please don't let anything prevent you from coming to me!
17 I will reward you richly and do anything you say. Please come and curse these people for me."
