Now after this, the son of the woman of the house became ill, so ill that there was no breath in him.

At that time, Abijah son of Jeroboam became ill.

Then Yahweh said to Ahijah, "Look, the wife of Jeroboam [is] coming to seek a word from you about her son, for he [is] ill. {Thus and so} you shall say to her. When she comes, she [will be] disguising herself."

"Treat fairly the sons of Barzillai of Gilead and provide for their needs, because they helped me when I had to flee from your brother Absalom.

But now don't treat him as if he were innocent. You are a wise man and you know how to handle him; make sure he has a bloody death."
