Common English Bible

¹⁹ The Lord said, ‘Who will persuade Israel’s King Ahab so that he attacks Ramoth-gilead and dies there?’ There were several suggestions, 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!’
