1 Kings 22:21

21 until one particular spirit approached the LORD and said, ‘I'll persuade him.' ‘How?' the LORD asked.

1 Kings 22:21 In-Context

19 Then Micaiah said, "Listen now to the LORD's word: I saw the LORD enthroned with all the heavenly forces stationed beside him, at his right and at his left.
20 The LORD said, ‘Who will persuade Ahab so that he attacks Ramoth-gilead and dies there?' There were many suggestions
21 until one particular spirit approached the LORD and said, ‘I'll persuade him.' ‘How?' the LORD asked.
22 ‘I will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets,' he said. The LORD agreed, ‘You will succeed in persuading him! Go ahead!'
23 So now, since the LORD has placed a lying spirit in the mouths of every one of these prophets of yours, it is the LORD who has pronounced disaster against you!"
