SEV Biblia, Chapter 24:10
¶ Entonces se encendió la ira de Balac contra Balaam, y batiendo sus palmas le dijo: Para maldecir a mis enemigos te he llamado, y he aquí los has bendecido resueltamente ya tres veces.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 10. And Balak’s anger was kindled against Balaam , etc.] He had bore much and long, but he could bear no longer, he was quite impatient, his last words more especially must exceedingly nettle him: and he smote his hands together ; as expressive of his indignation, vexation, and disappointment: and Balak said unto Balaam, I called thee to curse my enemies ; he had sent princes to him, one set of them after another, to invite him into his country, and to his court, with great promises of reward to curse Israel, whom he reckoned his enemies, and not to bless them: and, behold, thou hast altogether blessed them these three times ; done nothing else but bless them with blessing upon blessing, time after time; even everyone of the three times he opened his mouth, as Balak expected, to have cursed them.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 10-14 - This vain attempt to curse Israel is ended. Balak broke out into a rag against Balaam, and expressed great vexation. Balaam has a very ful excuse; God restrained him from saying what he would have said, an constrained him to say what he would not have uttered.
