Balak sprach zu Bileam: Komm doch, ich will dich an einen andern Ort führen; vielleicht gefällt es Gott, daß du mir sie daselbst verfluchest!
Und Balak sprach zu Bileam: Komm doch, ich will dich an einen anderen Ort mitnehmen; vielleicht wird es in den Augen Gottes recht sein, daß du es mir von dort aus verwünschest.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And Balak said unto Balaam, come, I pray thee,.... Come along with me: I will bring thee unto another place: if not better for the view of the people, yet a more religious place, on which account the king hoped for success:
peradventure it will please God that thou mayest curse me them from thence; it may be God will give thee leave to curse the people from that place, being devoted to sacred service: this is the first time that Balak makes mention of the name of God; and he now seems to be satisfied that it was not Balaam's fault that he did not curse Israel, but that he was hindered by God, who would not suffer him to do it.
