21 And 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.
22 Now, therefore, behold, the Lord has put a lying spirit in the mouth of these thy prophets, and the Lord has decreed evil concerning thee.
23 Then Zedekiah, the son of Chenaanah, came near and smote Micaiah upon the cheek and said, Which way did the Spirit of the Lord depart from me to speak unto thee?
24 And Micaiah said, Behold, thou shalt see on that day when thou shalt go from chamber to chamber to hide thyself.
25 Then the king of Israel said, Take Micaiah and carry him back to Amon, the governor of the city, and to Joash, the king’s son
26 and say, Thus hath the king said, Put this fellow in the prison and feed him with bread of affliction and with water of affliction until I return in peace.
27 And Micaiah said, If thou certainly return in peace, then the Lord has not spoken by me. And he said, Hearken, all ye peoples.
