1 Kings 22:23 in Context — 1 Kings 22
21 E saiu um espírito, e pôs-se diante do SENHOR, e disse: Eu lhe induzirei. E o SENHOR lhe disse: De que maneira?
22 E ele disse: Eu sairei, e serei espírito de mentira em boca de todos seus profetas. E ele disse: induzi-lo-ás, e ainda sairás com ele; sai, pois, e faze-o assim.
23 E agora, eis que o SENHOR pôs espírito de mentira na boca de todos estes teus profetas, e o SENHOR decretou o mal acerca de ti.
24 Chegando-se então Zedequias filho de Quenaaná, feriu a Micaías na face, dizendo: Por onde se foi de mim o espírito do SENHOR para falar a ti?
25 E Micaías respondeu: Eis que tu o verás naquele dia, quando te irás metendo de câmara em câmara por esconder-te.
