22. He replied, ‘I will go out and be a lying spirit in the mouths of all his prophets.’ The Lord said, ‘Deceive and overpower him. Go out and do as you have proposed.’
23. So now, look, the Lord has placed a lying spirit in the mouths of all these prophets of yours; but the Lord has decreed disaster for you.”
24. Zedekiah son of Kenaanah approached, hit Micaiah on the jaw, and said, “Which way did the Lord’s spirit go when he went from me to speak to you?”
25. Micaiah replied, “Look, you will see in the day when you go into an inner room to hide.”
26. Then the king of Israel said, “Take Micaiah and return him to Amon the city official and Joash the king’s son.
27. Say, ‘This is what the king says, “Put this man in prison. Give him only a little bread and water until I safely return.”’”
