Balak = "devastator"
a king of Moab who hired Balaam to curse Israel
Strong's Number H1111 matches the Hebrew בָּלָק (bālāq),
which occurs 43 times in 40 verses
in the WLC Hebrew.
And Balak [the king of Moab] the son of Zippor saw all that Israel had done to the Amorites.
So the elders of Moab and of Midian departed with fees for divination (foretelling) in hand; and they came to Balaam and told him the words of Balak.
Then Balak again sent leaders, more numerous and [men who were] more distinguished than the first ones.
When Balak heard that Balaam was coming, he went out to meet him at the city of Moab, which is on the border at the Arnon [River], at the farthest end of the border.
Then it came about in the morning that Balak took Balaam and brought him up to the high places of Baal; from there he saw a portion of the Israelites.
Then Balaam said to Balak, “Build seven altars for me here, and prepare for me seven bulls and seven rams here.”
“Balak, the king of Moab, has brought me from Aram (Syria),
from the mountains of the east, [saying,]
‘Come, curse [the descendants of] Jacob for me;
And come, [violently] denounce Israel.’
Then Balak said to Balaam, “What have you done to me? I brought you to curse my enemies, but here you have [thoroughly] blessed them instead!”
Balak said to him, “Come with me, I implore you, to another place from where you can see them, although you will see only the nearest and not all of them; and curse them for me from there.”
“Rise up, O Balak, and hear;
Listen [closely] to me, son of Zippor.
Then Balak said to Balaam, “Please come; I will take you to another place. Perhaps it will please God to let you curse them for me from there.”
Then Balak’s anger was kindled against Balaam, and he struck his hands together; and Balak said to Balaam, “I called you to curse my enemies, but behold, you have done nothing but bless them these three times.
Then Balaam arose and departed and returned to his place, and Balak also went on his way.
“My people, remember now
What Balak king of Moab devised [with his evil plan against Israel]
And what Balaam the son of Beor answered him [turning the curse into blessing for Israel],
[Remember what the LORD did for you] from [fn]Shittim to Gilgal,
So that you may know the righteous and saving acts [displaying the power] of the LORD.”
