1 KINGS 14:4 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And Jeroboam’s wife did so, and arose, and went to Shiloh, and came to the house of Ahijah. But Ahijah could not see; for his eyes were set by reason of his age.”
But the LORD said to Ahijah, 'Behold, the wife of Jeroboam is coming to inquire of you concerning her son; for he is sick. Thus and thus shall you say to her. When she comes in, she will pretend to be another woman.' — The LORD pre-instructs Ahijah, exposing the futility of deception. Divine omniscience precedes human action; God orchestrates events according to covenant purposes. The phrase הִנָּךְ אַתְּ בָּאָה (she is coming) demonstrates that divine foreknowledge encompasses all contingencies.
