1 Kings 22:24
Compare all
22 The Lord said to him, ‘In what way?’ So he said, ‘I will go out and be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets.’ And the Lord said, a‘You shall persuade him, and also prevail. Go out and do so.’  
23 aTherefore look! The Lord has put a lying spirit in the mouth of all these prophets of yours, and the Lord has declared disaster against you.”  
24 Now Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah went near and astruck Micaiah on the cheek, and said, b“Which way did the spirit from the Lord go from me to speak to you?”  
25 And Micaiah said, “Indeed, you shall see on that day when you go into an ainner chamber to hide!”  
26 So the king of Israel said, “Take Micaiah, and return him to Amon the governor of the city and to Joash the king’s son;
27 and say, ‘Thus says the king: “Put this fellow in aprison, and feed him with bread of affliction and water of affliction, until I come in peace.” ’ ”  
28 But Micaiah said, “If you ever return in peace, athe Lord has not spoken by me.” And he said, “Take heed, all you people!”
