“And Balaam said unto Balak, Lo, I am come unto thee: have I now any power at all to say any thing? the word that God putteth in my mouth, that shall I speak.”
So Balak took Balaam to Kiriath-huzoth, and they ate and drank — Balak escorts Balaam to Kiriath-huzoth, a city in Moab. A feast is held; Balaam participates. The hospitality is genuine, yet it cannot alter the divine constraint upon Balaam's speech. The meal is preparation for the next day's prophecy; Balaam rests and prepares while Balak plans.
