2 Chronicles 18:16-22
16So he said, “I saw all Israel Scattered on the mountains, 1Like 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. 2I saw the Lord sitting on His throne, and all the 3angels of heaven standing on His right and on His left. 19And the Lord said, ‘Who will 4entice Ahab king of Israel to go up and fall at Ramoth-gilead?’ And one spirit said this, while another said that. 20Then a 5spirit came forward and stood before the Lord and said, ‘I will 6entice him.’ And the Lord said to him, ‘How?’ 21He said, ‘I will go out and be 7a deceiving spirit in the mouths of all his prophets.’ Then He said, ‘You shall 8entice him, and you will also prevail. Go out and do so.’ 22Now therefore, behold, 9the Lord has put a deceiving spirit in the mouths of these prophets of yours, for the Lord has declared disaster against you.”
