God came to Balaam at night, and said to him, "If the men have come to call you, rise up, go with them; but only the word which I speak to you, that you shall do."

but you have this day rejected your God, who himself saves you out of all your calamities and your distresses; and you have said to him, '[No], but set a king over us.' Now therefore present yourselves before Yahweh by your tribes, and by your thousands."

"When you saw that Nahash the king of the children of Ammon came against you, you said to me, 'No, but a king shall reign over us;' when Yahweh your God was your king.

But my people didn't listen to my voice. Israel desired none of me.

Where is your king now, that he may save you in all your cities? And your judges, of whom you said, 'Give me a king and princes?'

He who receives you receives me, and he who receives me receives him who sent me.

But his citizens hated him, and sent an envoy after him, saying, 'We don't want this man to reign over us.'

Most certainly I tell you, a servant is not greater than his lord, neither one who is sent greater than he who sent him.
