Balak

Balak was a king of Moab who was terrified of the Israelites. He tried to hire the prophet Balaam to curse them, but Balaam was only able to bless them. Balak then tried to seduce the Israelites with Moabite women, but this also failed.

Balaam was a diviner who lived in the land of Moab. He was a non-Israelite, but he was also a prophet. One day, King Balak of Moab asked Balaam to curse the Israelites. Balaam agreed to go, but when he met with God, God told him not to curse the Israelites. Balaam tried to curse them anyway, but he could only bless them. Balaam was a wicked man. He told King Balak how to get the Israelites to commit sin by enticing them with immorality and food sacrificed to idols. The Israelites fell into transgression due to these traps and God sent a deadly plague to them as a result.
