Judgment For Jeroboam Continues

Now Ahijah could not see, for his eyes were dim because of his age. 5 Now the Lord had said to Ahijah, “Behold, the wife of Jeroboam is coming to inquire of you concerning her son, for he is sick. You shall say thus and thus to her, for it will be when she arrives that she will pretend to be another woman.”
