Balaam, it says, didn't try using his normal magical tricks to get a different answer because he knew God had made up His mind. If Balaam had kept with trusting God, he would have been better off. However, this shows wisdom in Balaam at least here to just go with God's plan even when it wasn't what those who were hiring him wanted. In fact, we will see that Balak tells Balaam, basically, you can blame God you're not getting paid. Disobeying man rather than God is worth not getting paid.
