1 Kings 22:20-22

The Voice

²⁰ In the vision, the Eternal said, “Who will be the one to entice Ahab into battle at Ramoth-gilead so he may die there?” Everyone had a different opinion about who should do the task.

²¹ Right then, a spirit revealed itself to the Eternal and said, “I will do it. I will draw Ahab into battle.”

²² The Eternal One asked, “How do you plan on doing this?”

The spirit answered, “I will become a spirit of deception within the words of his prophets.”

The Eternal spoke again, “I like this idea. You will succeed at drawing him into battle. Proceed quickly.”
