Numbers 23:6 (KJV)
Commentary on Numbers 23:6
Balaam returning to Balak 'and, lo, he stood by his burnt sacrifice, he, and all the princes of Moab' shows Balak's expectation of favorable results. The Hebrew hineh (lo/behold) emphasizes Balak's readiness to receive the curse. All Moab's leadership gathered expecting Balaam to spiritually destroy Israel. Their unified expectation would be dramatically disappointed. This illustrates how human plans confidently made can be utterly reversed by divine sovereignty. 'The king's heart is in the hand of the LORD, as the rivers of water: he turneth it whithersoever he will' (Proverbs 21:1).
