2 Chronicles 18:19-21

International Standard Version

¹⁹ “The Lord asked, ‘Who will tempt King Ahab of Israel to attack Ramoth-gilead, so that he will die there?’ And one was saying one thing and one was saying another.

²⁰ “But then a spirit approached, stood in front of the Lord, and said, ‘I will entice him.’

“And the Lord asked him, ‘How?’

²¹ “‘I will go,’ he announced, ‘and I will be a deceiving spirit in the mouth of all of his prophets!’

“So the Lord said, ‘You’re just the one to deceive him. You will be successful. Go and do it.’
