19 Micaiah said, "Therefore, hear the word of the Lord. I saw the Lord sitting on His throne, and all the host of heaven standing by Him on His right and on His left.
20 The Lord said, 'Who will entice Ahab to go up and fall at Ramoth-gilead?' And one said this while another said that.
21 Then a spirit came forward and stood before the Lord and said, 'I will entice him.'
22 The Lord said to him, 'How?' And he said, 'I will go out and be a deceiving spirit in the mouth of all his prophets.' Then He said, 'You are to entice him and also prevail. Go and do so.'
23 Now therefore, behold, the Lord has put a deceiving spirit in the mouth of all these your prophets; and the Lord has proclaimed disaster against you."
24 Then Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah came near and struck Micaiah on the cheek and said, "How did the Spirit of the Lord pass from me to speak to you?"
25 Micaiah said, "Behold, you shall see on that day when you enter an inner room to hide yourself."
