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 When Balaam got up in the morning, he said to Balak's princes, "Go back to your own country, because the LORD has refused to let me go with you."
14 So the Moabite princes went back to Balak and said, "Balaam refused to come with us."
15 Balak sent a larger group of more highly respected princes.
16 When they came to Balaam, they said to him, "This is what Balak, son of Zippor, says: Don't let anything keep you from coming to me.
17 I will make sure you are richly rewarded, and I will do whatever you ask. Please, come and curse these people for me."
