1 Kings 22:19-28

19And Micaiah saidH559, ThereforeH3651 hearH8085 thou the wordH1697 of Jehovah: I sawH7200 Jehovah sittingH3427 on his throneH3678, and all the hostH6635 of heavenH8064 standingH5975 by him on his rightH3225 handH3225 and on his left. 20And Jehovah saidH559, Who shall entice AhabH256, that he may goH5927 up and fallH5307 at Ramoth-gilead? And oneH2088 saidH559 on this manner; and another saidH559 on that manner. 21And there cameH3318 forthH3318 a spiritH7307, and stoodH5975 before Jehovah, and saidH559, I will entice him. 22And Jehovah saidH559 unto him, Wherewith? And he saidH559, I will goH3318 forthH3318, and will beH1961 a lyingH8267 spiritH7307 in the mouthH6310 of all his prophetsH5030. And he saidH559, Thou shalt entice him, and shalt prevailH3201 alsoH1571: goH3318 forthH3318, and do soH3651. 23NowH6258 thereforeH6258, behold, Jehovah hath putH5414 a lyingH8267 spiritH7307 in the mouthH6310 of all these thy prophetsH5030; and Jehovah hath spokenH1696 evilH7451 concerning thee.

24Then ZedekiahH6667 the sonH1121 of Chenaanah came near, and smote MicaiahH4321 on the cheekH3895, and saidH559, Which way went the SpiritH7307 of Jehovah from me to speakH1696 unto thee? 25And MicaiahH4321 saidH559, Behold, thou shalt seeH7200 on that dayH3117, when thou shalt goH935 into an innerH2315 chamberH2315 to hideH2247 thyself. 26And the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 saidH559, TakeH3947 MicaiahH4321, and carry him backH7725 unto AmonH526 the governor of the cityH5892, and to JoashH3101 the king’sH4428 sonH1121; 27and sayH559, ThusH3541 saith the kingH4428, PutH7760 this fellow in the prison, and feed him with breadH3899 of affliction and with waterH4325 of affliction, until I comeH935 in peaceH7965. 28And MicaiahH4321 saidH559, If thou returnH7725 at all in peaceH7965, Jehovah hath not spokenH1696 by me. And he saidH559, HearH8085, ye peoplesH5971, all of you.
