Yeah, I learned that story from a a song, "The Five Constipated Men of 
the Bible".

The first was Cain, he wasn't Abel.
The second was Moses, he took the tablets.
The third was Balaam, he couldn't move his ass.
The forth was Solomon, he sat for forty years.
The fifth was Sampson, he brought the house down.

(As you see, I had a thorough religious education as a child.)

I love the Balaam story. It actually illustrates that monotheism came 
later than most people imagine. If there is only one God, then why did 
He care so much whether a priest of a false god cast some curse?

Much of the indications of monotheism in the earlier texts aren't so 
much "I'm the one and only God", but more of "I am the one and only God 
for you people."

Cheers,
