1 Kings 22:19-28

19And he said, Hear thou therefore the word of Yhwh: I saw Yhwh sitting on his throne, and all the army of heaven standing by him on his right hand and on his left.

20And Yhwh said, Who shall persuade Ahab, that he may go up and fall at Ramoth–gilead? And one said on this manner, and another said on that manner.1

21And there came forth a spirit, and stood before Yhwh, and said, I will persuade him.

22And Yhwh said unto him, Wherewith? And he said, I will go forth, and I will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And he said, Thou shalt persuade him, and prevail also: go forth, and do so.

23Now therefore, behold, Yhwh hath put a lying spirit in the mouth of all these thy prophets, And Yhwh hath spoken evil concerning thee.

24But Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah went near, and smote Micaiah on the cheek, and said, Which way went the Spirit of Yhwh from me to speak unto thee?

25And Micaiah said, Behold, thou shalt see in that day, when thou shalt go into an inner chamber to hide thyself.2

26And the king of Israel said, Take Micaiah, and carry him back unto Amon the governor of the city, and to Joash the king’s son;

27And say, Thus saith the king, Put this fellow in the prison, and feed him with bread of affliction and with water of affliction, until I come in peace.

28And Micaiah said, If thou return at all in peace, Yhwh hath not spoken by me. And he said, Hearken, O people, every one of you.
