Numbers 22
If Balaam had possessed a sword, he would have also possessed a dead donkey. He desired a sword he didn't have to kill a donkey he didn't like for something he didn't understand. God had a sword but didn't kill the prophet plotting harm to a people He loved. The heart of God is to overlook offense while the heart of man is to find offense where there is none.
James 2:13
For judgment is without mercy to one who has shown no mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment.
Balaam proved to be more of an ass than his donkey, which is quite the feat.
