   Balaam's counsel seems to have been first given to Balak, king
  of Moab; but probably the Midianitish women, especially of the
  higher ranks, as Cozbi was, were the principal tempters; and
  the nation of Midian seems to have come into the execrable
  measure more generally and heartily than that of Moab:  they
  were therefore first selected to be made examples of, for a
  warning to the Moabites, who were spared at this time.
