1. At that time King Jeroboam's son Abijah fell ill.
2. Jeroboam said to his wife, “Disguise yourself so that no one will recognize you, and go to Shiloh, where the prophet Ahijah lives, the one who said I would be king of Israel.
3. Take him ten loaves of bread, some cakes, and a jar of honey. Ask him what is going to happen to our son, and he will tell you.”
4. So she went to Ahijah's home in Shiloh. Old age had made Ahijah blind.
5. The Lord had told him that Jeroboam's wife was coming to ask him about her son, who was ill. And the Lord told Ahijah what to say.When Jeroboam's wife arrived, she pretended to be someone else.
