1 Kings 22:20-23
22:20 The
Lord said, ‘Who will deceive Ahab, so he will attack Ramoth Gilead and die
there?’ One said this and another that.
22:21 Then a spirit
stepped forward and stood before the
Lord. He said, ‘I will deceive him.’ The
Lord asked him, ‘How?’
22:22 He replied, ‘I will go out and be a lying spirit in the mouths of all his prophets.’ The
Lord said, ‘Deceive and overpower him.
Go out and do as you have proposed.’
22:23 So now, look, the
Lord has placed a lying spirit in the mouths of all these prophets of yours; but the
Lord has decreed disaster for you.”
