1 Kings 14:5-7
International Standard Version
5 Meanwhile, the Lord had spoken to Ahijah, “Be on your guard! Jeroboam’s wife is coming to ask you about her son, because he is ill. You’re to say such and such to her. When she arrives, she will pretend to be someone else!”
6 When she arrived, Ahijah heard the sound of her feet as she came through the doorway. He said this to her:
“Come in, wife of Jeroboam. What is this pretension at being someone else? I have some harsh news.[a] 7 Go tell Jeroboam:
‘I raised you up from among the people.
‘I made you Commander-in-Chief[b] over my people Israel.
