14:1 ¹ At that time Jeroboam’s son Abijah became sick. 14:2 Jeroboam told his wife, “Disguise ²  yourself so that people cannot recognize you are Jeroboam’s wife. Then go to Shiloh; Ahijah the prophet, who told me I would rule over this nation, lives there. ³  14:3 Take ⁴  ten loaves of bread, some small cakes, and a container of honey and visit him. He will tell you what will happen to the boy.”

14:4 Jeroboam’s wife did as she was told. She went to Shiloh and visited Ahijah. ⁵  Now Ahijah could not see; he had lost his eyesight in his old age. ⁶
