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 disguiseH8138 thyself, that thou mayest not be knownH3045 to be the wifeH802 of JeroboamH3379; and goH1980 to ShilohH7887: behold, there is AhijahH281 the prophetH5030, who toldH1696 me that I should be kingH4428 over this peopleH5971. 3And takeH3947 with theeH3027 tenH6235 loavesH3899, and cakesH5350, and a cruseH1228 of honeyH1706, and goH935 to him: he shall tellH5046 thee what shall become of the childH5288.123 4And Jeroboam’sH3379 wifeH802 did soH6213, and aroseH6965, and wentH3212 to ShilohH7887, and cameH935 to the houseH1004 of AhijahH281. But AhijahH281 couldH3201 not seeH7200; for his eyesH5869 were dimH6965 by reason of his ageH7869.4 5And the LORDH3068 saidH559 to AhijahH281, Behold, the wifeH802 of JeroboamH3379 comethH935 to askH1875 a thingH1697 of thee for her sonH1121; for he is sickH2470: thusH2090 and thus shalt thou sayH1696 to her: for it shall be, when she cometh inH935, that she shall pretend to be anotherH5234 woman . 6And it was so, when AhijahH281 heardH8085 the soundH6963 of her feetH7272, as she came inH935 at the doorH6607, that he saidH559, Come inH935, thou wifeH802 of JeroboamH3379; why pretendest thou to be anotherH5234? for I am sentH7971 to thee with heavyH7186 tidings .5
