2 Chronicles 18:21-23

Modern English Version

²¹ “Then he said, ‘I will go out and be a spirit of deception in the mouth of all the prophets.’

“Then the Lord said, ‘You will deceive and find success. Go out and do this.’

²² “Now see that the Lord has put a spirit of deception in the mouth of your prophets. So the Lord has declared disaster over you.”

²³ Then Zedekiah the son of Kenaanah came near to Micaiah and struck him on the cheek. And he said, “Which way then did the spirit from the Lord pass from me to speak with you?”
