22:36 And when Balak heard that Balaam was come, he went out to meet him unto a city of Moab, which [is] in the {r} border of Arnon, which [is] in the utmost coast.
(r) Near the place where the Israelites camped.
22:36 In the utmost coast - Not far from the camp of the Israelites, whom he desired him to curse.
22:36-41 Balak has now nothing to complain of, but that Balaam did not come sooner. Balaam bids Balak not depend too much upon him. He seems to speak with vexation; but is really as desirous to please Balak, as ever he had pretended to be to please God. See what need we have to pray every day, Our Father which art in heaven, lead us not into temptation. Let us be jealous over our own hearts, seeing how far men may go in the knowledge of God, and yet come short of Divine grace.
