New American Standard Bible
Chapter 18
15
Then the king said to him, 'How many times must I make you swear that you will tell me nothing but the truth in the name of the
Lord
?'
16
So he said,
'I saw all Israel
Scattered on the mountains,
Like sheep that have no shepherd.
And the
Lord
said,
‘These
people
have no master.
Each of them is to return to his house in peace.’?'
17
Then the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, 'Did I not tell you that he would not prophesy
anything
good regarding me, but
only
bad?'
18
And
Micaiah
said, 'Therefore, hear the word of the
Lord
. I saw the
Lord
sitting on His throne, and all the angels of heaven standing on His right and on His left.
19
And the
Lord
said, ‘Who will entice Ahab king of Israel to go up and fall at Ramoth-gilead?’ And one
spirit
said this, while another said that.
20
Then a spirit came forward and stood before the
Lord
and said, ‘I will entice him.’ And the
Lord
said to him, ‘How?’
21
He said, ‘I will go out and be a deceiving spirit in the mouths of all his prophets.’ Then He said, ‘You shall entice
him,
and you will also prevail. Go out and do so.’
22
Now therefore, behold, the
Lord
has put a deceiving spirit in the mouths of these prophets of yours, for the
Lord
has declared disaster against you.'
King James Version
Chapter 18
15
And the king said to him, How many times shall I adjure thee that thou say nothing but the truth to me in the name of the
Lord
?
16
Then he said, I did see all Israel scattered upon the mountains, as sheep that have no shepherd: and the
Lord
said, These have no master; let them return therefore every man to his house in peace.
17
And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, Did I not tell thee that he would not prophesy good unto me, but evil?
18
Again he said, Therefore hear the word of the
Lord
; I saw the
Lord
sitting upon his throne, and all the host of heaven standing on his right hand and on his left.
19
And the
Lord
said, Who shall entice Ahab king of Israel, that he may go up and fall at Ramothgilead? And one spake saying after this manner, and another saying after that manner.
20
Then there came out a spirit, and stood before the
Lord
, and said, I will entice him. And the
Lord
said unto him, Wherewith?
21
And he said, I will go out, and be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And the
Lord
said, Thou shalt entice him, and thou shalt also prevail: go out, and do even so.
22
Now therefore, behold, the
Lord
hath put a lying spirit in the mouth of these thy prophets, and the
Lord
hath spoken evil against thee.

Chapter 18
15
But the king said to him, "How many times must I make you swear not to tell me anything but the truth in the name of the
Lord
?"
16
So Micaiah said:
I saw all Israel scattered on the hills
like sheep without a shepherd.
And the
Lord
said,
"They have no master;
let each return home in peace."
17
So the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, "Didn’t I tell you he never prophesies good about me, but only disaster?"
18
Then Micaiah said, "Therefore, hear the word of the
Lord
. I saw the
Lord
sitting on his throne, and the whole heavenly army was standing at his right hand and at his left hand.
19
And the
Lord
said, ‘Who will entice King Ahab of Israel to march up and fall at Ramoth-gilead?’ So one was saying this and another was saying that.
20
"Then a spirit came forward, stood before the
Lord
, and said, ‘I will entice him.’ "The
Lord
asked him, ‘How?’
21
"So he said, ‘I will go and become a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets.’ "Then he said, ‘You will entice him and also prevail. Go and do that.’
22
"Now, you see, the
Lord
has put a lying spirit into the mouth of these prophets of yours, and the
Lord
has pronounced disaster against you."
New Living Translation
Chapter 18
15
But the king replied sharply, 'How many times must I demand that you speak only the truth to me when you speak for the
Lord
?'
16
Then Micaiah told him, 'In a vision I saw all Israel scattered on the mountains, like sheep without a shepherd. And the
Lord
said, ‘Their master has been killed. Send them home in peace.’'
17
Didn’t I tell you?' the king of Israel exclaimed to Jehoshaphat. 'He never prophesies anything but trouble for me.'
18
Then Micaiah continued, 'Listen to what the
Lord
says! I saw the
Lord
sitting on his throne with all the armies of heaven around him, on his right and on his left.
19
And the
Lord
said, ‘Who can entice King Ahab of Israel to go into battle against Ramoth-gilead so he can be killed?’ 'There were many suggestions,
20
and finally a spirit approached the
Lord
and said, ‘I can do it!’ '‘How will you do this?’ the
Lord
asked.
21
And the spirit replied, ‘I will go out and inspire all of Ahab’s prophets to speak lies.’ '‘You will succeed,’ said the
Lord
. ‘Go ahead and do it.’
22
So you see, the
Lord
has put a lying spirit in the mouths of your prophets. For the
Lord
has pronounced your doom.'

Lord
said to him, ‘By what means?’
21
And he said, ‘I will go out, 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 out and do so.’
