2 Chronicles 18:20 In-Context

18 Then Micaiah said, "Listen now to the LORD's word: I saw the LORD enthroned with all the heavenly forces stationed at his right and at his left.

19 The LORD said, ‘Who will persuade Israel's King Ahab so that he attacks Ramoth-gilead and dies there?' There were several suggestions,

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

21 ‘I will be a lying spirit in the mouths of all his prophets,' he said. The LORD agreed: ‘You will succeed in persuading him! Go ahead!'

22 So now, since the LORD placed a lying spirit in the mouths of these prophets of yours, it is the LORD who has pronounced disaster against you!"
