Now when Balaam saw that it pleased the Lord to bless Israel, he did not resort to divination as at other times, but turned his face toward the wilderness.

“ For there is no sorcery against Jacob, Nor any divination against Israel. It now must be said of Jacob And of Israel,‘ Oh, what God has done!’

Then Balaam said to Balak,“ Stand by your burnt offering, and I will go; perhaps the Lord will come to meet me, and whatever He shows me I will tell you.” So he went to a desolate height.

And he said to Balak,“ Stand here by your burnt offering while I meet the Lord over there.”

Then Saul said to David,“ May you be blessed, my son David! You shall both do great things and also still prevail.” So David went on his way, and Saul returned to his place.

So Balak took Balaam to the top of Peor, that overlooks the wasteland.

But I have a few things against you, because you have there those who hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balak to put a stumbling block before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed to idols, and to commit sexual immorality.

So Balaam rose in the morning and said to the princes of Balak,“ Go back to your land, for the Lord has refused to give me permission to go with you.”

And now I know indeed that you shall surely be king, and that the kingdom of Israel shall be established in your hand.

Then Saul arose and went down to the Wilderness of Ziph, having three thousand chosen men of Israel with him, to seek David in the Wilderness of Ziph.

Behold, I have received a command to bless; He has blessed, and I cannot reverse it.
