*
Then he came to the king ;
and the king said to him , "
Micaiah ,
shall we go to war against Ramoth Gilead ,
or shall we refrain ?"
And he answered him , "
Go and prosper ,
for the LORD will deliver it into the hand of the king !"
*
So the king said to him , "
How many times shall I make you swear that you tell me nothing but the truth in the name of the LORD ?"
*
Then he said , "
I saw all Israel scattered on the mountains ,
as sheep that have no shepherd .
And the LORD said , "
These have no master .
Let each return to his house in peace ."'
*
And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat , "
Did I not tell you he would not prophesy good concerning me ,
but evil ?"
*
Then Micaiah said , "
Therefore hear the word of the LORD :
I saw the LORD sitting on His throne ,
and all the host of heaven standing by ,
on His right hand and on His left .
*
And the LORD said , "
Who will persuade Ahab to go up ,
that he may fall at Ramoth Gilead ?'
So one spoke in this manner ,
and another spoke in that manner .
*
Then a spirit came forward and stood before the LORD ,
and said , "
I will persuade him .'
*
The LORD said to him , "
In what way ?'
So he said , "
I will go out and be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets .'
And the LORD said , "
You shall persuade him ,
and also prevail .
Go out and do so .'
*
Therefore look !
The LORD has put a lying spirit in the mouth of all these prophets of yours ,
and the LORD has declared disaster against you ."
