22. The Lord said to him, 'How?' And he said, 'I will go out and be a deceiving spirit in the mouth of all his prophets.' Then He said, 'You are to entice him and also prevail. Go and do so.'
23. Now therefore, behold, the Lord has put a deceiving spirit in the mouth of all these your prophets; and the Lord has proclaimed disaster against you."
24. Then Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah came near and struck Micaiah on the cheek and said, "How did the Spirit of the Lord pass from me to speak to you?"
25. Micaiah said, "Behold, you shall see on that day when you enter an inner room to hide yourself."
26. Then the king of Israel said, "Take Micaiah and return him to Amon the governor of the city and to Joash the king's son;
27. and say, 'Thus says the king, "Put this man in prison and feed him sparingly with bread and water until I return safely."'"
28. Micaiah said, "If you indeed return safely the Lord has not spoken by me." And he said, "Listen, all you people."
29. So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat king of Judah went up against Ramoth-gilead.
30. The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, "I will disguise myself and go into the battle, but you put on your robes." So the king of Israel disguised himself and went into the battle.
31. Now the king of Aram had commanded the thirty-two captains of his chariots, saying, "Do not fight with small or great, but with the king of Israel alone."
32. So when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, they said, "Surely it is the king of Israel," and they turned aside to fight against him, and Jehoshaphat cried out.
