A little bird, the father of Balak, king of Moab (Num. 22:2, 4).
Zippor
Zippor is known only as a father. His son Balak was king of Moab when Israel camped on its border, and Balak was afraid that this company would “lick up all that are round about us, as the ox licketh up the grass of the field.” He sent messengers to Balaam, the son of Beor, begging him to come and curse Israel, each time introducing himself as the son of Zippor. Balaam answered with blessings instead, and even addressed Balak as “thou son of Zippor.” Joshua later recalls the whole episode in a single line. The father himself is never described. His name simply rides along with a king’s fear.
