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 got up and told Balak’s officials, “Go on home! The LORD will not let me go with you.”

14 So the Moabite officials returned to King Balak and reported, “Balaam refused to come with us.”

15 Then Balak tried again. This time he sent a larger number of even more distinguished officials than those he had sent the first time.

16 They went to Balaam and delivered this message to him: “This is what Balak son of Zippor says: Please don’t let anything stop you from coming to help me.

17 I will pay you very well and do whatever you tell me. Just come and curse these people for me!”
