2 Chronicles 18:20-22

Easy-to-Read Version

²⁰ Then a spirit went and stood before the Lord. He said, ‘I will fool him!’ The Lord asked, ‘How will you do it?’ ²¹ He answered, ‘I will go out and become a spirit of lies in the mouths of Ahab’s prophets—they will all speak lies.’ So the Lord said, ‘Yes, that will fool Ahab. Go out and do that!’

²² “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.”
