20. And the Lord said, Who will entice Ahab to go up and fall at Ramoth-gilead? One said this way, another said that way.
21. Then there came forth a spirit [of whom I am about to tell] and stood before the Lord and said, I will entice him.
22. The Lord said to him, By what means? And he said, I will go forth and be a lying spirit in the mouths of all his prophets. [The Lord] said, You shall entice him and succeed also. Go forth and do it.
23. So the Lord has put a lying spirit in the mouths of all these prophets; and the Lord has spoken evil concerning you.
