Context of 2 Chronicles 18:22

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. Now 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? 24And Micaiah said, Behold, thou shalt see on that day when thou shalt go into an inner chamber to hide thyself.
