1 Kings 14:1-8

1At that timeH6256 AbijahH29 the sonH1121 of JeroboamH3379 becameH2470 sickH2470. 2JeroboamH3379 saidH559 to his wifeH802, “AriseH6965 nowH4994, and 1disguiseH8132 yourself so that they will not knowH3045 that you are the wifeH802 of JeroboamH3379, and goH1980 to 2ShilohH7887; beholdH2009, AhijahH281 the prophetH5030 is thereH8033, whoH1931 3spokeH1696 concerningH5921 me that I would be kingH4428 overH5921 thisH2088 peopleH5971. 34TakeH3947 tenH6235 loavesH3899 with you, some cakesH5350 and a jarH1228 of honeyH1706, and goH935 to him. He will tellH5046 you whatH4100 will happenH1961 to the boyH5288.”

4Jeroboam’sH3379 wifeH802 didH6213 soH3651, and aroseH6965 and wentH1980 to 5ShilohH7887, and cameH935 to the houseH1004 of 6AhijahH281. Now AhijahH281 couldH3201 not seeH7200, 7for his eyesH5869 were 8dimH6965 becauseH4480 of his ageH7869. 5Now the LordH3068 had saidH559 to AhijahH281, “BeholdH2009, the wifeH802 of JeroboamH3379 is comingH935 to 9inquireH1875 of you concerningH413 her sonH1121, for he is sickH2470. You shall sayH1696 thusH2090 and thusH2088 to her, for it will be when she arrivesH935 that 10she will pretendH5235 to be anotherH5235 womanH5235.”

6When AhijahH281 heardH8085 the soundH6963 of her feetH7272 comingH935 in the doorwayH6607, he saidH559, “ComeH935 in, wifeH802 of JeroboamH3379, whyH4100 do you pretendH5235 to be anotherH5235 womanH5235? For I am sentH7971 to you with a harshH7186 message. 7GoH1980, sayH559 to JeroboamH3379, ‘ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, “11BecauseH3282H834 I exaltedH7311 you from amongH8432 the peopleH5971 and madeH5414 you leaderH5057 overH5921 My peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, 8and 12toreH7167 the kingdomH4467 awayH7167 from the houseH1004 of DavidH1732 and gaveH5414 it to you--13yet you have not beenH1961 like My servantH5650 DavidH1732, whoH834 keptH8104 My commandmentsH4687 and whoH834 followedH1980H310 Me with allH3605 his heartH3824, 14to doH6213 onlyH7534 that whichH3477 was rightH3477 in My sightH5869;
