1 Kings 22:21-23

New International Reader's Version

²¹ Finally, a spirit came forward and stood in front of the Lord. The spirit said, ‘I’ll get Ahab to do it.’

²² “ ‘How?’ the Lord asked.

“The spirit said, ‘I’ll go out and put lies in the mouths of all his prophets.’

“ ‘You will have success in getting Ahab to attack Ramoth Gilead,’ said the Lord. ‘Go and do it.’

²³ “So the Lord has put lies in the mouths of all your prophets. He has said that great harm will come to you.”
