If God cannot tempt anyone, what is the meaning of the following scriptures?

In light of James 1:13, I would like to know the meaning of the remaining scriptures quoted below. James 1:13 >Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man. 1 Kings 22:21-23 >Then a spirit came forward and stood before the LORD and said, 'I will entice him.'"The LORD said to him, 'How?' And he said, 'I will go out and be a deceiving spirit in the mouth of all his prophets.' Then He said, 'You are to entice him and also prevail. Go and do so.' "Now therefore, behold, the LORD has put a deceiving spirit in the mouth of all these your prophets; and the LORD has proclaimed disaster against you."… 2 Thessalonians 2:11 >For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie Judges 9:23 >God stirred up animosity between Abimelek and the citizens of Shechem so that they acted treacherously against Abimelek. 1 Samuel 16:14 >Now the Spirit of the LORD had departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the LORD tormented him.
