1 Kings 22:19-28
  
  19 Micaiah continued, “Therefore hear the word of the Lord: I saw the Lord sitting on his throne with all the multitudes of heaven standing around him on his right and on his left. 20 And the Lord said, ‘Who will entice Ahab into attacking Ramoth Gilead and going to his death there?’
  
  “One suggested this, and another that. 21 Finally, a spirit came forward, stood before the Lord and said, ‘I will entice him.’
  
  22 “‘By what means?’ the Lord asked.
  
  “‘I will go out and be a deceiving spirit in the mouths of all his prophets,’ he said.
  
  “‘You will succeed in enticing him,’ said the Lord. ‘Go and do it.’
  
  23 “So now the Lord has put a deceiving spirit in the mouths of all these prophets of yours. The Lord has decreed disaster for you.”
  
  24 Then Zedekiah son of Kenaanah went up and slapped Micaiah in the face. “Which way did the spirit from[a] the Lord go when he went from me to speak to you?” he asked.
  
  25 Micaiah replied, “You will find out on the day you go to hide in an inner room.”
  
  26 The king of Israel then ordered, “Take Micaiah and send him back to Amon the ruler of the city and to Joash the king’s son 27 and say, ‘This is what the king says: Put this fellow in prison and give him nothing but bread and water until I return safely.’”
  
  28 Micaiah declared, “If you ever return safely, the Lord has not spoken through me.” Then he added, “Mark my words, all you people!”


So God sends a spirit enticing Ahab in order to attack Ramoth Gilead. If I may dare ask, why does God feel the need to send a deceiving spirit? Would this not go against the Commandments God has given? And why was such a spirit even within the close proximity in the presence of the Lord in the first place? I wish to know how to reconciling this text with others.


Question: Which whois is the most frequently updated?
Answer: Being one who has a similar site, I would have thought who.is or whois.com were the most accurate. Mine is different in that I capture the information at the time of an attack, spam, or other similar event. However, most other sites will re-query the whois data when the page is accessed assuming that there is a measure to ensure that the same whois data is not being requested to often. Some sites subscribe and download bulk whois data from time to time and update their databases that way instead of relying on traffic. With a large site such as these, it is nearly impossible to keep the data 100% fresh. There are limits to whois look-ups and sites have to be careful not to over do it.

The best thing to do is either use nslookup in a Windows command window or nslookup or whois in a terminal window in Linux. This will give you the current whois information. But be sure not to try and make bulk queries or you just may be blacklisted. Spread them out a bit and you should be fine.
