And the LORD said, Who shall persuade Ahab, that he may go up and fall at Ramoth-gilead? And one said on this manner, and another said on that manner — God's council discusses how to persuade Ahab to go to Ramoth where he will be defeated. The phrase shows that even Ahab's defeat serves God's purposes through the divine-human cooperation (the spirits present their suggestions to God).
