Chapter 14
The Lord Condemns Jeroboam.[a]1 It was at that time that Abijah, the son of Jeroboam, fell ill. 2 Jeroboam said to his wife, “Get up and disguise yourself so that they cannot tell that you are Jeroboam’s wife, and then go to Shiloh. Ahijah, the prophet, is there, the one who told me that I would be king over this people. 3 Take ten loaves of bread with you along with some cakes and a jar of honey and go to him. He will tell you what will happen to the child.”

- 1 Kings 14:1 An elderly, blind prophet is compelled to curse the man whom he had chosen to be king at the Lord’s order (see 11:29); this is the beginning of the henceforth frequent conflicts between men of God and the rulers of Israel. Jeroboam will serve, in the stories about his successors, as the example of a wicked king.
