A search of Numbers 24 (KJV):
The spirit of God was upon Balaam to deliver the parable-richness of this chapter. The parables expressed blessings as well as prophecy for Israel (24:5-9; 24:14-24).
Balak became angry at Balaam for blessing Israel three times because he had wanted them to be cursed (24:10). In the end, however, good overcame evil with Balaam standing firm with God (24:13). Balaam was not enticed by Balak's promotions of honor (24:11). Balaam and Balak parted ways (24:25).
Personal note: Be sure to search the blessings and prophecies set forth in parables in this chapter!
