VERSE (16) -
:16

SEV Biblia, Chapter 22:16

Los cuales vinieron a Balaam, y le dijeron: Así dice Balac, hijo de Zipor: Te ruego que no dejes de venir a mí;

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 16. And they came to
Balaam , etc.] Though men of such rank and dignity, they did not decline the embassy, being sent by their king; nor did they think it below them to wait upon this soothsayer: and said unto him, thus saith Balak the son of Zippor ; representing their master, and addressing the diviner in his name, as his ambassadors; at the same time doing honour to Balak that sent them, of whom they speak respectfully, and to Balaam, to whom they were sent: let nothing, I pray thee, hinder thee from coming unto me ; no business, though ever so important, that might be upon his hands; nor any want of respect to him he might imagine; nor if the rewards offered were not thought sufficient; nor any persuasions of men to the contrary; and if it could be thought he knew anything of the prohibition of God, that may be included; so urgent was he upon his coming to him.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 15-21 - A second embassy was sent to
Balaam. It were well for us, if we were a earnest and constant in prosecuting a good work, notwithstandin disappointments. Balak laid a bait, not only for Balaam's covetousness but for his pride and ambition. How earnestly should we beg of God daily to mortify such desires in us! Thus sinners stick at no pains spare no cost, and care not how low they stoop, to gratify their luxury, or their malice. Shall we then be unwilling to do what is right? God forbid! Balaam's convictions charged him to keep to the command of God; nor could any man have spoken better. But many call God theirs, who are not his, not truly because not only his. There is n judging men by their words; God knows the heart. Balaam's corruption at the same time inclined him to go contrary to the command. He seeme to refuse the temptation; but he expressed no abhorrence of it. He ha a strong desire to accept the offer, and hoped that God might give his leave to go. He had already been told what the will of God was. It is certain evidence of the ruling of corruption in the heart, to beg leav to sin. God gave Balaam up to his own heart's lusts. As God sometime denies the prayers of his people in love, so sometimes he grants the desires of the wicked in wrath.
