1 Kings 22:21-23

Easy-to-Read Version

²¹ Then a spirit^[a] went and stood before the Lord and said, ‘I will fool him!’ The Lord asked, ‘How will you do it?’ ²² The spirit answered, ‘I will go to Ahab’s prophets and cause them to tell lies.’ So the Lord said, ‘Yes, that will fool Ahab. Go out and do that.’

²³ “So that is what has happened here. The Lord made your prophets lie to you. The Lord himself decided to bring this disaster to you.”
