1 Kings 22:22-28 »How will you deceive him?« Jehovah asked. The spirit replied: »I will make all of Ahab's prophets tell lies.« Jehovah said: »Go and deceive him. You will succeed.«

NSB⁽ⁱ⁾ ²² »How will you deceive him?« Jehovah asked. The spirit replied: »I will make all of Ahab's prophets tell lies.« Jehovah said: »Go and deceive him. You will succeed.« ²³ Micaiah concluded: This is what has happened. Jehovah made these prophets of yours lie to you. He has decreed that you will meet with disaster! ²⁴ The prophet Zedekiah went to Micaiah and slapped his face. He asked: »Since when did Jehovah’s spirit leave me and speak to you?« ²⁵ »You will see when you go into an inner chamber to hide.« Micaiah replied. ²⁶ The king of Israel said: »Take Micaiah and send him back to Amon, the ruler of the town, and to Joash, the king's son. ²⁷ »‘Tell them: ‘It is the king's order that this man is to be put in prison and given prison food till I come again in peace.’« ²⁸ Micaiah said: If you come back at all in peace, Jehovah has not sent his word by me.
