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!"
