Judgment on the House of Jeroboam

1 At that time Abijah the son of Jeroboam became sick.
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 aI would be king over this people.  
3 aAlso take with you ten loaves, some cakes, and a jar of honey, and go to him; he will tell you what will become of the child.”  
4 And Jeroboam’s wife did so; she arose aand went to Shiloh, and came to the house of Ahijah. But Ahijah could not see, for his eyes were1 glazed by reason of his age.  
5 Now the Lord had said to Ahijah, “Here is the wife of Jeroboam, coming to ask you something about her son, for he is sick. Thus and thus you shall say to her; for it will be, when she comes in, that she will pretend to be another woman.”

1 Kings 14:3

See the marginal reference The presents here were selected for the purpose of deception, being such as a poor country person would have been likely to bring. Jeroboam counted also on Ahijah' s blindness I Kings 14:4 as favoring his plan of deception (compare Genesis 27:1, Genesis 27:22).

Cracknels - See the margin. The Hebrew word is thought to mean a kind of cake which crumbled easily.
