20 “And a spirit came forward and stood before יהוה, and said, ‘Let me entice him.’ יהוה said to him, ‘In what way?’
21 “And he said, ‘I shall go out and be a spirit of falsehood in the mouth of all his prophets.’ And He said, ‘Entice him, and also prevail. Go out and do so.’
22 “And now, see, יהוה has put a spirit of falsehood in the mouth of these prophets of yours, and יהוה has spoken evil concerning you.”
23 And Tsiḏqiyahu son of Kena‛anah came near and smote Miḵayehu on the cheek, and said, “Which way did the spirit of יהוה pass over from me to speak to you?”
24 And Miḵayehu said, “Look, you shall see on that day when you go into an inner room to hide!”
25 Then the sovereign of Yisra’ĕl said, “Take Miḵayehu, and return him to Amon the governor of the city and to Yo’ash the sovereign’s son,
26 and say, ‘Thus said the sovereign, “Put this one in prison, and feed him with bread of affliction and water of affliction until I return in peace.” ’ ”
