18 Therefore, the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat: 'Did I not tell you that he prophesies nothing good to me, but always evil?'
19 Yet truly, continuing, he said: 'Because of his, listen to the word of the Lord. I saw the Lord sitting upon his throne. And the entire army of heaven was standing beside him, to the right and to the left.
20 And the Lord said, 'Who will mislead Ahab, the king of Israel, so that he may ascend and fall at Ramoth Gilead?' And one spoke words in this manner, and another spoke otherwise.
21 But then a spirit went out and stood before the Lord. And he said, 'I will mislead him.' And the Lord said to him, 'By what means?'
22 And he said, 'I will go forth, and I will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets.' And the Lord said: 'You will deceive him, and you will prevail. Go forth, and do so.'
