2-3 Jeroboam told his wife:Disguise yourself so no one will know you're my wife, then go to Shiloh, where the prophet Ahijah lives. Take him ten loaves of bread, some small cakes, and honey, and ask him what will happen to our son. He can tell you, because he's the one who told me I would become king.
4 She got ready and left for Ahijah's house in Shiloh.Ahijah was now old and blind,
5 but the Lord told him, “Jeroboam's wife is coming to ask about her son. I will tell you what to say to her.”Jeroboam's wife came to Ahijah's house, pretending to be someone else.
6 But when Ahijah heard her walking up to the door, he said:Come in! I know you're Jeroboam's wife—why are you pretending to be someone else? I have some bad news for you.
7 Give your husband this message from the Lord God of Israel: “Jeroboam, you know that I, the Lord, chose you over anyone else to be the leader of my people Israel.
8 I even took David's kingdom away from his family and gave it to you. But you are not like my servant David. He always obeyed me and did what was right.
9 “You have made me very angry by rejecting me and making idols out of gold. Jeroboam, you have done more evil things than any king before you.
