Commentary on Numbers 24:11

Balak's dismissal 'Therefore now flee thou to thy place: I thought to promote thee unto great honour; but, lo, the LORD hath kept thee back from honour' ironically blames God for preventing Balaam's reward. The Hebrew kavod (honour/wealth) indicates Balak had promised great payment. Balak correctly identifies that 'the LORD hath kept thee back,' acknowledging divine intervention but resenting it. This reveals the unregenerate heart's response to God's sovereignty—acknowledging His power while opposing His will. Balak recognized God's hand yet remained hostile.
