2 Chronicles 18:10-23

10And Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah had made him horns of iron, and said, Thus saith Yhwh, With these thou shalt push Syria until they be consumed.1

11And all the prophets prophesied so, saying, Go up to Ramoth–gilead, and prosper: for Yhwh shall deliver it into the hand of the king.

12And the messenger that went to call Micaiah spake to him, saying, Behold, the words of the prophets declare good to the king with one assent; let thy word therefore, I pray thee, be like one of theirs, and speak thou good.2

13And Micaiah said, As Yhwh liveth, even what my God saith, that will I speak.

14And when he was come to the king, the king said unto him, Micaiah, shall we go to Ramoth–gilead to battle, or shall I forbear? And he said, Go ye up, and prosper, and they shall be delivered into your hand.

15And the king said to him, How many times shall I adjure thee that thou say nothing but the truth to me in the name of Yhwh?

16Then he said, I did see all Israel scattered upon the mountains, as sheep that have no shepherd: And Yhwh said, These have no master; let them return therefore every man to his house in peace.

17And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, Did I not tell thee that he would not prophesy good unto me, but evil?3

18Again he said, Therefore hear the word of Yhwh; I saw Yhwh sitting upon his throne, and all the army of heaven standing on his right hand and on his left.

19And Yhwh said, Who shall entice Ahab king of Israel, that he may go up and fall at Ramoth–gilead? And one spake saying after this manner, and another saying after that manner.

20Then there came out a spirit, and stood before Yhwh, and said, I will entice him. And Yhwh said unto him, Wherewith?

21And he said, I will go out, and be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And the Lord said, Thou shalt entice him, and thou shalt also prevail: go out, and do even so.

22Now therefore, behold, Yhwh hath put a lying spirit in the mouth of these thy prophets, And Yhwh hath spoken evil against thee.

23Then Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah came near, and smote Micaiah upon the cheek, and said, Which way went the Spirit of Yhwh from me to speak unto thee?
