Numbers 22:14
And the princes of Moab rose up, and they went unto Balak, and said, Balaam refuseth to come with us. (Numbers 22:14)
Balaam refuseth.
 The princes naturally misinterpreted Balaam’s motives (see on v. 13), and could not give Balak a true report. Too, the may not have been averse to placing the reason for the failure of their mission on Balaam.
