1 Kings 14:5
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. (1 Kings 14:5)
The Lord said.
The wife of Jeroboam meant to deceive the prophet, but God gave him mental sight. The prophet’s full knowledge of the circumstances of the visit was confirmatory evidence to Jeroboam that he was receiving a message direct from the Lord.
