1 Kings 22:17-22

17Then Micaiah answered, “I saw all Israel scattered on the hills like sheep without a shepherd, and the LORD said, ‘These people have no master. Let each one go home in peace.’ ”

18The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “Didn’t I tell you that he never prophesies anything good about me, but only bad?” 19Micaiah continued, “Therefore hear the word of the LORD : I saw the LORD sitting on his throne with all the multitudes of heaven standing around him on his right and on his left.

20And the LORD said, ‘Who will entice Ahab into attacking Ramoth Gilead and going to his death there?’ “One suggested this, and another that.

21Finally, a spirit came forward, stood before the LORD and said, ‘I will entice him.’

22“ ‘By what means?’ the LORD asked. “ ‘I will go out and be a deceiving spirit in the mouths of all his prophets,’ he said. “ ‘You will succeed in enticing him,’ said the LORD . ‘Go and do it.’
