14:5 But the Lord had told Ahijah, “Look, Jeroboam’s wife is coming to find out from you what will happen to her son, for he is sick.

[14:4]  ¹ tn Heb “and the wife of Jeroboam did so; she arose and went to Shiloh and entered the house of Ahijah.”

[14:4]  ² tn Heb “his eyes were set because of his old age.”

[4:3]  ³ tn Heb “were scribes”; NASB, NIV, NRSV “secretaries”; TEV, NLT “court secretaries.”

[11:30]  ⁵ tn Heb “and Ahijah grabbed the new robe that was on him.”

[14:18]  ⁷ tn Heb “according to the word of the Lord which he spoke.”

[15:27]  ⁹ tn Heb “against him”; the referent (Nadab) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[21:22]  ¹¹ tn Heb “house.”

[21:22]  ¹² tn Heb “because of the provocation by which you angered [me], and you caused Israel to sin.”

[11:29]  ¹³ tn The Hebrew text has simply “he,” making it a bit unclear whether Jeroboam or Ahijah is the subject, but in the Hebrew word order Ahijah is the nearer antecedent, and this is followed by the present translation.

[12:15]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “because this turn of events was from the Lord.”

[12:15]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “so that he might bring to pass his word which the Lord spoke.”

[14:2]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “Get up, change yourself.”

[14:2]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “look, Ahijah the prophet is there, he told me [I would be] king over this nation.”

[14:5]  ¹⁹ sn Tell her so-and-so. Certainly the Lord gave Ahijah a specific message to give to Jeroboam’s wife (see vv. 6-16), but the author of Kings here condenses the Lord’s message with the words “so-and-so.” For dramatic effect he prefers to have us hear the message from Ahijah’s lips as he speaks to the king’s wife.

[14:6]  ²¹ tn Heb “I am sent to you [with] a hard [message].”

[15:29]  ²³ tn Heb “and when he became king, he struck down all the house of Jeroboam; he did not leave any breath to Jeroboam until he destroyed him.”
