Joshua 13:22 Balaam also the son of Beor, the soothsayer, did the children of Israel slay with the sword among them that were slain by them.

I lost my place on the Gutenberg website Bible page, so I searched for the last story i remembered which is Balaam.

Unfortunately Balaam is mentioned 63 times throughout the Bible. So it didn't help me find my place. However, it did teach me that God really made an example of this guy, despite him being some kinda prophet. I didn't help that I thought of him as being a Dumbledore type of character, or maybe a Severus Snape, where he was really a good guy, just put in a difficult place as far as the chips fell.

So, I'm thinking, "What went wrong? where did the relationship sour?"

What if Balaam had a strong family drive, and he didn't appreciate that his people were going to be destroyed. God gave us all a strong family loyalty. Blood is thicker than water.

So, in Balaam's mind, he's like "Why, God, did you choose this random people to come over here and take us out". So unfair.

That's today's unbiased audit of God's historical activity.
