I would say that lying for any reason we can dream up is wrong.

I would say that in the case of "God sanctioned" lying in the Bible, that the Lord impressed upon the liar to say what they said. No, it is not written that He did, but that is the only way I can see to justify it.
I would suggest the book, Evangelical Ethics.
