2 Chronicles 18:18-22 ▼

18 But Micaiah responded, |Therefore, listen to what the LORD has to say. I saw the LORD, sitting on his throne, and the entire Heavenly Army was surrounding him on his right hand and on his left hand.

19 |The LORD asked, 'Who will tempt King Ahab of Israel to attack Ramoth-gilead, so that he will die there?' And one was saying one thing and one was saying another.

20 |But then a spirit approached, stood in front of the LORD, and said, 'I will entice him.' |And the LORD asked him, 'How?'

21 |'I will go,' he announced, 'and I will be a deceiving spirit in the mouth of all of his prophets!' |So the LORD said, 'You're just the one to deceive him. You will be successful. Go and do it.'

22 Now therefore, listen! The LORD has placed a lying spirit in the mouth of all of these prophets of yours, because the LORD has determined to bring disaster upon you.|
