Numbers 21 - 22

The nation of Israel continues their way through the wilderness, complaining as they travel.  They are not permitted into some areas, due to the way God had provided for them in the past.  One king, Balak, even went as far as bringing in a consultant named Balaam to advise him on how to destroy the Hebrews through passive means.  God instructed Balaam to only give the advise that He wanted passed to Balak.
