And Micai '
ah said , "
Therefore hear the word of the LORD :
I saw the LORD sitting on his throne ,
and all the host of heaven standing beside him on his right hand and on his left ;
*
and the LORD said , `
Who will entice Ahab ,
that he may go up and fall at Ramoth-gilead ?'
And one said one thing ,
and another said another .
*
Then a spirit came forward and stood before the LORD ,
saying , `
I will entice him .'
*
And the LORD said to him , `
By what means ?'
And he said , `
I will go forth ,
and will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets .'
And he said , `
You are to entice him ,
and you shall succeed ;
go forth and do so .'
*
Now therefore behold ,
the LORD has put a lying spirit in the mouth of all these your prophets ;
the LORD has spoken evil concerning you ."
*
Then Zedeki '
ah the son of Chena '
anah came near and struck Micai '
ah on the cheek ,
and said , "
How did the Spirit of the LORD go from me to speak to you ?"
*
And Micai '
ah said , "
Behold ,
you shall see on that day when you go into an inner chamber to hide yourself ."
*
And the king of Israel said , "
Seize Micai '
ah ,
and take him back to Amon the governor of the city and to Jo '
ash the king '
s son ;
*
and say , `
Thus says the king , "
Put this fellow in prison ,
and feed him with scant fare of bread and water ,
until I come in peace ."'"
*
And Micai '
ah said , "
If you return in peace ,
the LORD has not spoken by me ."
And he said , "
Hear ,
all you peoples !"
