1 Kings 22:21-29

²¹A spirit came out and stood before the LORD, and said, ‘I will entice him.’

²²The LORD said to him, ‘How?’ He said, ‘I will go out and will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets.’ He said, ‘You will entice him, and will also prevail. Go out and do so.’

²³Now therefore, behold, the LORD has put a lying spirit in the mouth of all these your prophets; and the LORD has spoken evil concerning you.”

²⁴Then Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah came near and struck Micaiah on the cheek, and said, “Which way did the LORD’s Spirit go from me to speak to you?”

²⁵Micaiah said, “Behold, you will see on that day when you go into an inner room to hide yourself.”

²⁶The king of Israel said, “Take Micaiah, and carry him back to Amon the governor of the city and to Joash the king’s son.

²⁷Say, ‘The king says, “Put this fellow in the prison, and feed him with bread of affliction and with water of affliction, until I come in peace.”’”

²⁸Micaiah said, “If you return at all in peace, the LORD has not spoken by me.” He said, “Listen, all you people!”

²⁹So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah went up to Ramoth Gilead.
