20 And the Lord said, ‘Who will [a]entice Ahab to go up and fall at Ramoth-gilead?’ And one spirit said this, while another said that. 21 Then a spirit came forward and stood before the Lord, and said, ‘I will [b]entice him.’ 22 And the Lord said to him, ‘How?’ And he said, ‘I will go out and (A)be a deceiving spirit in the mouths of all his prophets.’ Then He said, ‘You shall [c]entice him, and you will also prevail. Go and do so.’ 23 Now then, behold, (B)the Lord has put a deceiving spirit in the mouth of all these prophets of yours; and the Lord has declared disaster against you.”
