Here in this chapter we read of Balaam blessing Israel instead of cursing them as Balak would have it.
In the first instance, Balaam prophesied about Israel's multiplication and enviable standing and destiny before God: “Who can count the dust of Jacob, Or number the fourth part of Israel? Let me die the death of the upright, And let my end be like his!”"
In the second instance, Balaam blessed Israel that God was on his side and that he would be victorious over his enemies.
Each time, it angered Balak but Balaam spoke what God had revealed to him.
