1 Kings 22:22-24

New International Version

²² “‘By what means?’ the Lord asked.

“‘I will go out and be a deceiving^(A) spirit in the mouths of all his prophets,’ he said.

“‘You will succeed in enticing him,’ said the Lord. ‘Go and do it.’

²³ “So now the Lord has put a deceiving^(B) spirit in the mouths of all these prophets^(C) of yours. The Lord has decreed disaster^(D) for you.”

²⁴ Then Zedekiah^(E) son of Kenaanah went up and slapped^(F) Micaiah in the face. “Which way did the spirit from^[a] the Lord go when he went from me to speak^(G) to you?” he asked.
