Revised Version 1895
1 Kings 14:1-8
1At that time AbijahH29 the sonH1121 of JeroboamH3379 fell sickH2470.
2And JeroboamH3379 saidH559 to his wifeH802, AriseH6965, I prayH4994 thee, and disguise thyself, that thou be notH3808 knownH3045 to be the wifeH802 of JeroboamH3379: and getH6965 thee to ShilohH7887; beholdH2009, there is AhijahH281 the prophetH5030, whichH1931 spake concerning meH4994 that I should be kingH4428 over this peopleH5971.
3And takeH3947 with thee tenH6235 loavesH3899, and cracknels, and a cruse of honeyH1706, and goH935 to him: he shall tellH5046 thee whatH4100 shall becomeH1961 of the childH5288.
4And Jeroboam’sH3379 wifeH802 didH6213 soH3651, and aroseH6965, and wentH935 to ShilohH7887, and cameH935 to the houseH1004 of AhijahH281. NowH3588 AhijahH281 couldH3201 notH3808 seeH7200; for his eyesH5869 were setH6965 by reasonH3651 of his ageH935.
5And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto AhijahH281, BeholdH2009, the wifeH802 of JeroboamH3379 cometh to inquireH1875 of thee concerning herH413 sonH1121; for he is sickH2470: thusH2088 and thusH2088 shalt thou sayH559 unto herH413: for it shall be, when sheH1931 cometh in, that sheH1931 shall feign herselfH1931 to be anotherH2088 womanH802.
6And it was soH7971, when AhijahH281 heardH8085 the soundH6963 of herH413 feetH7272, as sheH4100 cameH935 in at the doorH6607, that he saidH559, ComeH935 in, thou wifeH802 of JeroboamH3379; whyH4100 feignest thou thyself to be anotherH2088? for I am sentH7971 to thee with heavy tidings.
7Go, tellH559 JeroboamH3379, ThusH3541 saith the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478: Forasmuch as I exaltedH7311 thee from among the peopleH5971, and madeH5414 thee princeH5057 over my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478,
8and rent the kingdomH4467 awayH1980 from the houseH1004 of DavidH1732, and gaveH5414 it thee: and yet thou hast notH3808 been as my servantH5650 DavidH1732, who keptH8104 my commandmentsH4687, and who followedH310 meH5414 with allH3605 his heartH3824, to doH6213 that onlyH7535 whichH834 was rightH3477 in mine eyesH5869;
