1 Kings 22:21-23
EasyEnglish Bible
21 Then a spirit came and stood in front of the Lord. The spirit said, “I will deceive Ahab.”[a] The Lord asked him, “How will you do it?” 22 The spirit said, “I will give a message to all Ahab's prophets. I will cause them to speak lies.” The Lord said, “Go and deceive King Ahab, as you have said. He will do what you say.”
23 So you see what has happened. The Lord has sent a spirit to all these prophets who serve you. This spirit has caused them to speak lies. The Lord has decided that terrible trouble will come on you.’
