“And when Balak heard that Balaam was come, he went out to meet him unto a city of Moab, which is in the border of Arnon, which is in the utmost coast.”
Balak said to Balaam, 'Did I not send to you to summon you? Why did you not come to me? Am I not able to promote you to great honor?' — Balak's greeting is slightly accusatory: Why did you delay? But the tone shifts to reassurance: I can and will provide great honor. Balak affirms his commitment to reward Balaam lavishly. The promise of honor, repeated from the messengers' appeal, remains Balak's primary enticement.
