2 Chronicles 18:10-23

10Then Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah made horns of iron for himself and said, “This is what the Lord says: ‘With these you will gore the Arameans until they are destroyed!’” 11All the prophets were prophesying this as well, saying, “Go up to Ramoth-gilead and be successful, for the Lord will hand it over to the king.”

12Then the messenger who went to summon Micaiah spoke to him saying, “Behold, the words of the prophets are 1unanimously favorable to the king. So please let your word be like one of them, and speak favorably.” 13But Micaiah said, “As the Lord lives, 2whatever my God says, I will speak it.”

14When he came to the king, the king said to him, “Micaiah, should we go to battle against Ramoth-gilead, or should I refrain?” He said, “Go up and succeed, for they will be handed over to you!” 15Then the king said to him, “How many times must I make you swear that you will tell me nothing but the truth in the name of the Lord?” 16So he said, “I saw all Israel Scattered on the mountains, 3Like sheep that have no shepherd. And the Lord said, ‘These people have no master. Each of them is to return to his house in peace.’” 17Then the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “Did I not tell you that he would not prophesy anything good regarding me, but only bad?”

18And Micaiah said, “Therefore, hear the word of the Lord. 4I saw the Lord sitting on His throne, and all the 5angels of heaven standing on His right and on His left. 19And the Lord said, ‘Who will 6entice Ahab king of Israel to go up and fall at Ramoth-gilead?’ And one spirit said this, while another said that. 20Then a 7spirit came forward and stood before the Lord and said, ‘I will 8entice him.’ And the Lord said to him, ‘How?’ 21He said, ‘I will go out and be 9a deceiving spirit in the mouths of all his prophets.’ Then He said, ‘You shall 10entice him, and you will also prevail. Go out and do so.’ 22Now therefore, behold, 11the Lord has put a deceiving spirit in the mouths of these prophets of yours, for the Lord has declared disaster against you.”

23Then Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah approached and 12struck Micaiah on the cheek; and he said, “13How did the Spirit of the Lord pass from me to speak to you?”
