Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of Numbers 23:6
And he returned unto him, and, lo, he stood by his burnt sacrifice, he, and all the princes of Moab.
And he returned unto him,…. Immediately, as soon as he was told what to say:
and, lo, he stood by his burnt sacrifice; continued in his devotions, hoping for success, and waiting for Balaam’s return:
he and all the princes of Moab; not only those that were sent to Balaam, but perhaps all the princes of the kingdom who were got together on this occasion, and by reason of the imminent danger they apprehended the nation was in on account of Israel.

6. All the princes of Moab The king and the princes faithfully watched their smoking altars, anxiously awaiting the return of the man who was reputed to have influence with Jehovah sufficient to call down wasting and mildew upon the glistening tents of their enemies spread out in the plains below. They hoped that the angel of death would hover over their foes with pestilence and destruction on his wings when the curse should stream from the mouth of the mighty magician.
