2 Chronicles 18:20-22

International Standard Version

²⁰ “But then a spirit approached, stood in front of the Lord, and said, ‘I will entice him.’

“And the Lord asked him, ‘How?’

²¹ “‘I will go,’ he announced, ‘and I will be a deceiving spirit in the mouth of all of his prophets!’

“So the Lord said, ‘You’re just the one to deceive him. You will be successful. Go and do it.’

²² Now therefore, listen! The Lord has placed a lying spirit in the mouth of all of these prophets of yours, because the Lord has determined to bring disaster upon you.”
