1 Kings 22:19-22
1599 Geneva Bible
19 Again he said, Hear thou therefore the word of the Lord. I saw the Lord sit on his throne, and all the [a]host of heaven stood about him on his right hand and on his left hand.
20 And the Lord said, Who shall [b]entice Ahab that he may go and fall at Ramoth Gilead? And one said on this manner, and another said on that manner.
21 Then there came forth a spirit, and [c]stood before the Lord, and said, I will entice him. And the Lord said unto him, Wherewith?
22 And he said, I will go out, and be a [d]false spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. Then he said, Thou shalt entice him, and shalt also prevail: go forth, and do so.
