20There came forth a spirit, and stood before Yahweh, and said, I will entice him. Yahweh said to him, `How?`
21He said, `I will go forth, and will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets.` He said, `You shall entice him, and shall prevail also: go forth, and do so.`
22Now therefore, behold, Yahweh has put a lying spirit in the mouth of these your prophets; and Yahweh has spoken evil concerning you.
23Then Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah came near, and struck Micaiah on the cheek, and said, Which way went the Spirit of Yahweh from me to speak to you?
24Micaiah said, Behold, you shall see on that day, when you shall go into an inner chamber to hide yourself.
25The king of Israel said, Take Micaiah, and carry him back to Amon the governor of the city, and to Joash the king`s son;
26and say, Thus says the king, Put this fellow in the prison, and feed him with bread of affliction and with water of affliction, until I return in peace.
