Go out and do so.’ 23 So now, behold, (B)Yahweh has put a lying spirit in the mouth of all these your prophets; but Yahweh has spoken calamity against you.”
24 Then (C)Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah came near and struck Micaiah on the cheek and said, “(D)How did the Spirit of Yahweh pass from me to speak to you?”

New International Version
22 “‘By what means?’ the Lord asked.
“‘I will go out and be a deceiving(A) spirit in the mouths of all his prophets,’ he said.
“‘You will succeed in enticing him,’ said the Lord. ‘Go and do it.’
23 “So now the Lord has put a deceiving(B) spirit in the mouths of all these prophets(C) of yours. The Lord has decreed disaster(D) for you.”
24 Then Zedekiah(E) son of Kenaanah went up and slapped(F) Micaiah in the face. “Which way did the spirit from[a] the Lord go when he went from me to speak(G) to you?” he asked.
