19 And now send, collect together all Israel to me at Mount Carʹmel+ and also the four hundred and fifty prophets of Baʹal+ and the four hundred prophets of the sacred pole,+ who are eating at the table of Jezʹe·bel.”+
6 So the king of Israel collected the prophets together,+ about four hundred men, and said to them: “Shall I go against Raʹmoth-gilʹe·ad in war, or shall I refrain?” And they began to say: “Go up,+ and Jehovah* will give it into the king’s hand.”
22 To this he said, ‘I shall go forth, and I shall certainly become a deceptive spirit in the mouth of all his prophets.’+ So he said, ‘You will fool him, and, what is more, you will come off the winner.+ Go out and do that way.’+
