2 Chronicles 18:16-22
16Then he saidH559, I did seeH7200 all IsraelH3478 scatteredH6327 upon the mountainsH2022, as sheepH6629 that have no shepherdH7462: And YhwhH3068 saidH559, These have no masterH113; let them returnH7725 therefore every manH376 to his houseH1004 in peaceH7965.
17And the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 saidH559 to JehoshaphatH3092, Did I not tellH559 thee that he would not prophesyH5012 goodH2896 unto me, but evilH7451?1
18Again he saidH559, Therefore hearH8085 the wordH1697 of YhwhH3068; I sawH7200 YhwhH3068 sittingH3427 upon his throneH3678, and all the armyH6635 of heavenH8064 standingH5975 on his right handH3225 and on his leftH8040.
19And YhwhH3068 saidH559, Who shall enticeH6601 AhabH256 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, that he may go upH5927 and fallH5307 at Ramoth–gileadH1568H7433? And one spakeH559 sayingH559 after this mannerH3602, and another sayingH559 after that mannerH3602.
20Then there came outH3318 a spiritH7307, and stoodH5975 beforeH6440 YhwhH3068, and saidH559, I will enticeH6601 him. And YhwhH3068 saidH559 unto him, Wherewith?
21And he saidH559, I will go outH3318, and be a lyingH8267 spiritH7307 in the mouthH6310 of all his prophetsH5030. And the Lord saidH559, Thou shalt enticeH6601 him, and thou shalt also prevailH3201: go outH3318, and doH6213 even so.
22Now therefore, behold, YhwhH3068 hath putH5414 a lyingH8267 spiritH7307 in the mouthH6310 of these thy prophetsH5030, And YhwhH3068 hath spokenH1696 evilH7451 against thee.
