1 Kings 22:19-23

1 Kings 22:19-23 CSB

Then Micaiah said, “Therefore, hear the word of the LORD: I saw the LORD sitting on his throne,  and the whole heavenly army  was standing by him at his right hand and at his left hand. And the LORD said, ‘Who will entice Ahab to march up and fall at Ramoth-gilead? ’  So one was saying this and another was saying that. “Then a spirit came forward, stood in the LORD’s presence, and said, ‘I will entice him.’ “The LORD asked him, ‘How? ’ “He said, ‘I will go and become a lying spirit  in the mouth of all his prophets.’ “Then he said, ‘You will certainly entice him and prevail.  Go and do that.’ “You see, the LORD has put a lying spirit into the mouth of all these prophets of yours, and the LORD has pronounced disaster against you.”
