THE MESSAGE
Balaam got up in the morning, saddled his donkey, and went off with the noblemen from Moab. As he was going, though, God's anger flared. The angel of God stood in the road to block his way. Balaam was riding his donkey, accompanied by his two servants. When the donkey saw the angel blocking the road and brandishing a sword, she veered off the road into the ditch. Balaam beat the donkey and got her back on the road.

Contextual Overview
15 Balak sent leaders again, more than were sent before, and men who were more important. 16 They came to Balaam and said to him, "Balak the son of Zippor says, ‘I beg you, let nothing keep you from coming to me. 17 I will give you much honor. I will do whatever you tell me. I beg you to come and curse these people for me.'" 18 Balaam answered and said to Balak's men, "Balak could give me his house full of silver and gold. But I could not do anything, small or big, against the Word of the Lord my God. 19 Now I ask you to stay here tonight. I will find out what else the Lord will say to me." 20 God came to Balaam at night and said to him, "If the men have come to call you, get up and go with them. But do only what I tell you." 21 So Balaam got up in the morning and got his donkey ready, and went with the leaders of Moab.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And Balaam rose up in the morning,.... Early, not waiting for the call of the princes, which showed how eager he was to be gone, and how intent upon the journey:
and saddled his ass; which, if he did himself, as Jarchi suggests, this is a further proof of the haste he was in; though, as he had two servants with him, it is more likely that they did it by his order: the same is said of Abraham, Genesis 22:3, it was usual for persons of note and figure, in those times and countries, to ride on asses, Judges 5:10 and went with the princes of Moab; in company with them, and with as good a will as they, his heart and theirs being alike, as Jarchi notes; though it seems by what follows that by some means or another they soon parted company; for when the affair of the ass happened, Balaam was alone, only attended by his two servants.
