1 Kings 14:3-5

King James Version

³And take with thee ten loaves, and cracknels, and a cruse of honey, and go to him: he shall tell thee what shall become of the child.

⁴And Jeroboam's wife did so, and arose, and went to Shiloh, and came to the house of Ahijah. But Ahijah could not see; for his eyes were set by reason of his age.

⁵And the Lord said unto Ahijah, Behold, the wife of Jeroboam cometh to ask a thing of thee for her son; for he is sick: thus and thus shalt thou say unto her: for it shall be, when she cometh in, that she shall feign herself to be another woman.

³^(A)Take ten loaves with you, some pastries, and a jar of honey, and go to him. He will tell you what will happen to the boy.”

⁴And Jeroboam’s wife did so, and set out and went to ^(B)Shiloh, and came to the house of ^(C)Ahijah. Now Ahijah could not see ^(D)because his eyes were ^[a]glossy from his old age. ⁵Now the Lord had said to Ahijah, “Behold, the wife of Jeroboam is coming to ^[b]inquire of you about her son, because he is sick. You shall say such and such to her, for it will be when she arrives, that ^(E)she is going to make herself unrecognizable.”

³Take ten loaves of bread^(A) with you, some cakes and a jar of honey, and go to him. He will tell you what will happen to the boy.” ⁴So Jeroboam’s wife did what he said and went to Ahijah’s house in Shiloh.

Now Ahijah could not see; his sight was gone because of his age. ⁵But the Lord had told Ahijah, “Jeroboam’s wife is coming to ask you about her son, for he is ill, and you are to give her such and such an answer. When she arrives, she will pretend to be someone else.”
