1 Kings 14:1-6

1At that timeH6256 AbijahH29 the sonH1121 of JeroboamH3379 fell sickH2470. 2And JeroboamH3379 saidH559 to his wifeH802, AriseH6965, I pray thee, and disguise thyself, that thou be not knownH3045 to be the wifeH802 of JeroboamH3379; and get thee to ShilohH7887: behold, there is AhijahH281 the prophetH5030, who spake concerning me that I should be kingH4428 over this peopleH5971. 3And takeH3947 with thee tenH6235 loaves, and cakes, and a cruse of honeyH1706, and goH935 to him: he will tellH5046 thee what shall becomeH1961 of the child. 4And Jeroboam’s wifeH802 did soH3651, and aroseH6965, and wentH935 to ShilohH7887, and cameH935 to the houseH1004 of AhijahH281. Now AhijahH281 could not seeH7200; for his eyesH5869 were setH6965 by reason of his age. 5And Jehovah saidH559 unto AhijahH281, Behold, the wifeH802 of JeroboamH3379 cometh to inquire of thee concerningH413 her sonH1121; for he is sickH2470: thus and thus shalt thou sayH559 unto her; for it will beH1961, when she cometh in, that she will feign herself to beH1961 another womanH802.

6And it wasH1961 so, when AhijahH281 heardH8085 the soundH6963 of her feetH7272, as she cameH935 in at the doorH6607, that he saidH559, ComeH935 in, thou wifeH802 of JeroboamH3379; whyH4100 feignest thou thyself to beH1961 another? for I am sentH7971 to thee with heavy tidings.
