Ahijah foretells the fall of Jeroboam's house

When Jeroboam's son became ill, the king sent his disguised wife to Ahijah. Though the prophet was blind, the LORD revealed her identity and announced judgment on Jeroboam's house; the child died when she entered Tirzah (1 Kings 14:1-18).

📖 1 Kings 14:1–3

1At that time Abijah son of Jeroboam became ill, 2and Jeroboam said to his wife, “Now get up, disguise yourself so they will not recognize you as my wife, and go to Shiloh. For Ahijah the prophet is there; it was he who spoke about my kingship over this people. 3Take with you ten loaves of bread, some cakes, and a jar of honey, and go to him. He will tell you what will become of the boy.”
