What did Balak do in the Bible
Balak was a great warrior, king, and expert magician. He felt threatened by the Children of Israel and hired Bilaam (Baalam in English) to curse them. Thankfully, that plan failed. In response, Balak executed another plan, managing to ensnare the Children of Israel through immorality and idolatry. To this day, Balak is considered one of the great enemies of the People of Israel.
