2 Chronicles 18:20-22

Common English Bible

²⁰ until one particular spirit approached the Lord and said, ‘I will persuade him.’ ‘How?’ the Lord asked. ²¹ ‘I will be a lying spirit in the mouths of all his prophets,’ he said. The Lord agreed: ‘You will succeed in persuading him! Go ahead!’ ²² So now, since the Lord placed a lying spirit in the mouths of these prophets of yours, it is the Lord who has pronounced disaster against you!”
