So the wife of Jeroboam did so; she arose and went to Shiloh, and came to the house of Ahijah. Now Ahijah could not see, for his eyes were dim because of his age — Jeroboam's wife journeys to Shiloh, the ancient sanctuary seat. Ahijah's blindness—עֵינָיו קָדוּ מִזִּקְנוּ (his eyes were dim with age)—paradoxically heightens his spiritual perception. Physical limitation opens access to divine sight; the prophet perceives by revelation rather than natural vision.
