Balak

Balak son of Tzipor was a person in the Book of Numbers. Balak was the king of Moab and feared the Israelites so Balak sent his messengers to Midian and hired Balaam to curse the Israelites “for I know that those you bless are blessed and those you curse are cursed”. When Balaam tried to curse the Israelites, he ended up blessing them instead and Balak was angry about that. So Balak joined with the Midianites in sending women to the Israelites to seduce them and make them weak so that they could attack the Israelites.
