1 Kings 22:22-23

Micaiah Prophesies Against Ahab

22 And the Lord said to him, 'By what means?' And he said, 'I will go out, and will be h a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets.' And he said, 'You are to entice him, and you shall succeed; go out and do so.' 23 Now therefore behold, the Lord has put a lying spirit in the mouth of all these your prophets; the Lord has declared disaster for you."
