SEV Biblia, Chapter 22:36
¶ Y oyendo Balac que Balaam venía, salió a recibirlo a la ciudad de Moab, que está junto al término de Arnón, que está al límite de su territorio.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 36. And when Balak heard that Balaam was come , etc.] Messengers being sent to acquaint him with it, either by Balaam, or by the princes: he went out to meet him ; overjoyed at the news that his princes had succeeded, and to show him respect, and do him honour, and all to encourage him to do his utmost for him: unto a city of Moab, which is in the border of Arnon, which is in the utmost coast ; by the situation of it, being on the border of the river Arnon, which river was in the extreme parts of Moab, and divided between the Moabites and Amorites, it is generally thought to be the city Ar, called “Ar of Moab”, (see Numbers 21:13,28), and the king coming to meet Balaam so far as the uttermost border of his dominions showed the greater respect to him.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 36-41 - Balak has now nothing to complain of, but that Balaam did not com sooner. Balaam bids Balak not depend too much upon him. He seems to speak with vexation; but is really as desirous to please Balak, as eve he had pretended to be to please God. See what need we have to pra every day, Our Father which art in heaven, lead us not into temptation Let us be jealous over our own hearts, seeing how far men may go in the knowledge of God, and yet come short of Divine grace __________________________________________________________________
