1 Kings 14:1-18
esv
At that time Abijah ... fell sick.
the son
of Jeroboam
And Jeroboam said
to his wife,
“Arise,
and disguise yourself,
that it not be known
that you are the wife
of Jeroboam,
and go
to Shiloh.
Behold, Ahijah ... is there,
the prophet
who said
of me
that I should be king
over this people.
Take ... ten loaves,
with you
some cakes,
and a jar
of honey,
and go
to him.
He will tell you
what shall happen
to the child.”
Jeroboam’s wife did so.
She arose
and went
to Shiloh
and came
to the house
of Ahijah.
Now Ahijah could not see,
for his eyes were dim
because of his age.
And the Lord said
to Ahijah,
“Behold, the wife ... is coming
of Jeroboam
to inquire
of you
concerning her son,
for he is sick.
Thus and thus shall you say
to her.”
When she came,
she pretended
to be another woman.
But when Ahijah heard the sound
Temporal
of her feet,
as she came in
at the door,
Locative
he said,
“Come in, wife of Jeroboam.

And he will give Israel up

of Jeroboam,
which he sinned
and made Israel

Then Jeroboam’s wife arose
and departed
and came
to Tirzah.
And as she came
to the threshold
of the house,
the child died.
And all Israel buried him
and mourned
for him,
according to the word
of the Lord,
which he spoke
by his servant Ahijah
the prophet.
