Expanded Bible

²¹ Then one spirit came and stood before the Lord and said, ‘I will ·trick [entice; deceive] him.’

²² “The Lord asked, ‘How will you do it?’

“The spirit answered, ‘I will go to Ahab’s prophets and ·make them tell lies [^Lbe a lying/deceiving spirit in their mouths].’

“So the Lord said, ‘You will succeed in ·tricking [enticing; deceiving] him. Go and do it.’”

²³ Micaiah said, “Ahab, the Lord has ·made your prophets lie to you [^Lput a deceiving/lying spirit in the mouth of your prophets], and the Lord has ·decided [pronounced; proclaimed; decreed] that disaster ·should come to [for; on] you.”
