2 Chronicles 18:20 In-Context

18 Micaiah kept on, "I'm not done yet; listen to God's word: I saw God enthroned, and all the Angel Armies of heaven standing at attention, ranged on his right and his left.

19 And God said, "How can we seduce Ahab into attacking Ramoth Gilead?" Some said this, and some said that.

20 Then a bold angel stepped out, stood before God, and said, "I'll seduce him." "And how will you do it?" said God.

21 "Easy," said the angel, "I'll get all the prophets to lie." "That should do it," said God; "On your way - seduce him!"

22 "And that's what has happened. God filled the mouths of your puppet prophets with seductive lies. God has pronounced your doom."
