¹⁹ And Micaiah said, “Therefore, hear the word of the Lord. ^(A)I saw the Lord sitting on His throne, and ^(B)all the ^[a]angels of heaven standing by Him on His right and on His left. ²⁰ And the Lord said, ‘Who will ^[b]entice Ahab to go up and fall at Ramoth-gilead?’ And one spirit said this, while another said that. ²¹ Then a spirit came forward and stood before the Lord, and said, ‘I will ^[c]entice him.’ ²² And the Lord said to him, ‘How?’ And he said, ‘I will go out and ^(C)be a deceiving spirit in the mouths of all his prophets.’ Then He said, ‘You shall ^[d]entice him, and you will also prevail. Go and do so.’ ²³ Now then, behold, ^(D)the Lord has put a deceiving spirit in the mouth of all these prophets of yours; and the Lord has declared disaster against you.”
