⁴ And Jeroboam’s wife did so; she arose ^(A)and went to Shiloh, and came to the house of Ahijah. But Ahijah could not see, for his eyes were ^[a]glazed by reason of his age.

²⁹ Now it happened at that time, when Jeroboam went out of Jerusalem, that the prophet ^(A)Ahijah the Shilonite met him on the way; and he had clothed himself with a new garment, and the two were alone in the field.

¹⁵ Eli was ninety-eight years old, and ^(A)his eyes were so ^[a]dim that he could not see.

¹² “But go now to ^(A)My place which was in Shiloh, ^(B)where I set My name at the first, and see ^(C)what I did to it because of the wickedness of My people Israel. ¹³ And now, because you have done all these works,” says the Lord, “and I spoke to you, ^(D)rising up early and speaking, but you did not hear, and I ^(E)called you, but you did not answer, ¹⁴ therefore I will do to the house which is called by My name, in which you trust, and to this place which I gave to you and your fathers, as I have done to ^(F)Shiloh.

² And Jeroboam said to his wife, “Please arise, and disguise yourself, that they may not recognize you as the wife of Jeroboam, and go to Shiloh. Indeed, Ahijah the prophet is there, who told me that ^(A)I would be king over this people.

And the ^(D)two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were there with the ark of the covenant of God.
