1 KINGS 14:5 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And the Lord said unto Ahijah, Behold, the wife of Jeroboam cometh to ask a thing of thee for her son; for he is sick: thus and thus shalt thou say unto her: for it shall be, when she cometh in, that she shall feign herself to be another woman.”
And when she came, she pretended to be another woman. But when Ahijah heard the sound of her feet, as she came in, he said, 'Come in, wife of Jeroboam; why do you pretend to be another? I have been sent to you with heavy news — Ahijah's immediate recognition—before she speaks—proves perception through the Spirit. The שׁמע (to hear) encompasses both literal and spiritual dimensions. His address "wife of Jeroboam" strips away pretense and announces דָּבָר קָשׁוֹ (heavy news)—words of judgment.
