Kings 22:19-23. God permits a spirit to become a “lying spirit” in the mouths of Ahab's prophets. God says, “I will entice him”, and asks how Ahab will be persuaded. The spirit answers that it will be a lying spirit, and God says, “You are to entice him, and you shall succeed; go out and do so.”
2 Thessalonians 2:10-12. Regarding people who reject the truth, Paul says: “God sends them a strong delusion, so that they may believe what is false.” The purpose given is that they will be condemned because they did not believe the truth.
Ezekiel 14:9. This is particularly direct: “And if the prophet be deceived when he hath spoken a thing, I the LORD have deceived that prophet.” God then says He will stretch out His hand against him.
Jeremiah 4:10. Jeremiah says: “Ah, Lord GOD! surely thou hast greatly deceived this people and Jerusalem, saying, Ye shall have peace.” The context concerns prophets giving assurances of peace despite impending judgment.
1 Kings 22:20-22. God asks, “Who will entice Ahab?” A spirit offers to be a “lying spirit” in the prophets, and God authorizes the plan.
