1 At that time Abijah, son of Jer o boam, got sick.
2 Jer o boam told his wife, “Go to Shiloh, but disguise yourself so that people will not recognize you as my wife. The prophet Ahijah, who told me I would be king of these people, is there.
3 Take ten loaves of bread, some raisins, and a jar of honey with you, and go to him. He will tell you what will happen to the boy.”
4 Jer o boam’s wife did this. She left, went to Shiloh, and came to the home of Ahijah.Ahijah couldn’t see. His eyesight had failed because he was old.
5 However, the Lord had told Ahijah, “Jer o boam’s wife is coming to ask you about her son who is sick. When she comes, she will pretend to be someone else.” He also told Ahijah what to say to her.
