But the LORD had told Ahijah,“Look, Jeroboam’s wife is coming to find out from you what will happen to her son, for he is sick. Tell her such-and-such. When she comes, she will be in a disguise.”
When Ahijah heard the sound of her footsteps as she came through the door, he said,“Come on in, wife of Jeroboam! Why are you pretending to be someone else? I have been commissioned to give you bad news.
Go, tell Jeroboam,‘This is what the LORD God of Israel has said:“I raised you up from among the people and made you ruler over my people Israel.

You have sinned more than all who came before you. You went and angered me by making other gods, formed out of metal; you have completely disregarded me.
So I am ready to bring disaster on the dynasty of Jeroboam. I will cut off every last male belonging to Jeroboam in Israel, including even the weak and incapacitated. I will burn up the dynasty of Jeroboam, just as one burns manure until it is completely consumed.
Dogs will eat the members of your family who die in the city, and the birds of the sky will eat the ones who die in the country.”’ Indeed, the LORD has announced it!
