24:15–19 In his fourth oracle, Balaam predicts the future advent of a royal conqueror who would triumph over Moab and Edom. An initial fulfillment of these predictions is found in 2 Sam. 8:2–14, which describes David’s victory over the Moabites and Edomites. But his accomplishments prefigure the greater conquests of Christ (e.g., Col. 2:15; 1 Cor. 15:25, 26; Rev. 20:10, 14).
