THE MESSAGE
Balaam got up in the morning, saddled his donkey, and went off with the noblemen from Moab. As he was going, though, God's anger flared. The angel of God stood in the road to block his way. Balaam was riding his donkey, accompanied by his two servants. When the donkey saw the angel blocking the road and brandishing a sword, she veered off the road into the ditch. Balaam beat the donkey and got her back on the road.

Contextual Overview
15 So Balak sent other leaders—this time there were more of them, and they were more important. 16 They went to Balaam and said, "Balak son of Zippor says this: Please don't let anything stop you from coming to me. 17 I will pay you very well, and I will do what you say. Come and put a curse on these people for me." 18 But Balaam answered Balak's servants, "King Balak could give me his palace full of silver and gold, but I cannot disobey the Lord my God in anything, great or small. 19 You stay here tonight as the other men did, and I will find out what more the Lord tells me." 20 That night God came to Balaam and said, "These men have come to ask you to go with them. Go, but only do what I tell you." 21 Balaam got up the next morning and put a saddle on his donkey. Then he went with the Moabite leaders.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And Balaam rose up in the morning,.... Early, not waiting for the call of the princes, which showed how eager he was to be gone, and how intent upon the journey:
and saddled his ass; which, if he did himself, as Jarchi suggests, this is a further proof of the haste he was in; though, as he had two servants with him, it is more likely that they did it by his order: the same is said of Abraham, Genesis 22:3, it was usual for persons of note and figure, in those times and countries, to ride on asses, Judges 5:10 and went with the princes of Moab; in company with them, and with as good a will as they, his heart and theirs being alike, as Jarchi notes; though it seems by what follows that by some means or another they soon parted company; for when the affair of the ass happened, Balaam was alone, only attended by his two servants.
