[22:36] When Balak heard that Balaam was coming, he went to meet him at Ar, a city on the Arnon River at the border of Moab.
[22:37] Balak said to him, “Why didn't you come when I sent for you the first time? Did you think I wasn't able to reward you enough?”
[22:38] Balaam answered, “I came, didn't I? But now, what power do I have? I can say only what God tells me to say.”
[22:39] So Balaam went with Balak to the town of Huzoth,
[22:40] where Balak slaughtered cattle and sheep and gave some of the meat to Balaam and the leaders who were with him.
