Also called: Balak, Balac
Balak was the king of Moab during the time of the Israelites' journey to the Promised Land. He is primarily known for his attempts to curse the Israelites through the prophet Balaam, seeking to protect his kingdom from the perceived threat posed by the Israelite encampment.[NUM 22:2][NUM 22:4][NUM 24:25]
Balak's interactions with Balaam illustrate the theme of divine sovereignty over the nations and the futility of opposing God's plans. His story serves as a warning against attempting to manipulate prophetic voices for personal gain.[NUM 23:11][MIC 6:5][REV 2:14]
