1 Kings 22:22-24

Living Bible

²² “‘How?’ the Lord asked.

“And he replied, ‘I will go as a lying spirit in the mouths of all his prophets.’

“And the Lord said, ‘That will do it; you will succeed. Go ahead.’

²³ “Don’t you see? The Lord has put a lying spirit in the mouths of all these prophets, but the fact of the matter is that the Lord has decreed disaster upon you.”

²⁴ Then Zedekiah (son of Chenaanah) walked over and slapped Micaiah on the face.

“When did the Spirit of the Lord leave me and speak to you?” he demanded.
