21Then a spirit came forward and took his place before the Lord and said, I will get him to do it by a trick.
22And the Lord said, How? And he said, I will go out and be a spirit of deceit in the mouth of all his prophets. And he said, Your trick will have its effect on him: go out and do so.
23And now, see, the Lord has put a spirit of deceit in the mouth of all these your prophets; and the Lord has said evil against you.
24Then Zedekiah, the son of Chenaanah, came near and gave Micaiah a blow on the side of the face, saying, Where is the spirit of the Lord whose word is in you?
25And Micaiah said, Truly, you will see on that day when you go into an inner room to keep yourself safe.
26And the king of Israel said, Take Micaiah and send him back to Amon, the ruler of the town, and to Joash, the king's son;
27And say, It is the king's order that this man is to be put in prison and given prison food till I come again in peace.
