and Jeroboam said to his wife
Jeroboam, the first king of the northern kingdom of Israel after the division, is depicted here. His reign is marked by idolatry and political instability. His wife, though unnamed, plays a crucial role in this narrative. The use of his wife indicates a personal and secretive mission, reflecting the gravity of the situation.

Now get up, disguise yourself so they will not recognize you as my wife
The act of disguise suggests fear and desperation. Jeroboam's concern for anonymity highlights the tension between his public persona and private actions. Disguise in biblical narratives often signifies deception or a lack of faith, as seen in Genesis 27 with Jacob and Esau. This also reflects Jeroboam's awareness of his unpopularity and the potential consequences of his actions.

and go to Shiloh
Shiloh was an important religious center before the establishment of Jerusalem as the spiritual heart of Israel. It was the location of the Tabernacle and the Ark of the Covenant during the time of the Judges. This reference underscores the historical and spiritual significance of the place, suggesting a return to traditional sources of divine guidance.

For Ahijah the prophet is there
Ahijah, a prophet from Shiloh, previously foretold Jeroboam's rise to power (1 Kings 11:29-31). His presence in Shiloh indicates his continued role as a divine messenger. Prophets in Israel were seen as intermediaries between God and the people, and Ahijah's involvement underscores the seriousness of Jeroboam's inquiry.

it was he who spoke about my kingship over this people
This phrase recalls Ahijah's prophecy in 1 Kings 11, where he symbolically tore a new garment into twelve pieces, giving ten to Jeroboam. This act signified God's judgment on Solomon's house and the division of the kingdom. Jeroboam's acknowledgment of Ahijah's prophecy reveals his recognition of divine authority, even as he struggles with faithfulness to God's commands.

5. Disguise

Teaching Points
The Consequences of Disobedience
Jeroboam's actions reflect a heart turned away from God, leading to fear and deception. Disobedience to God's commands often results in a lack of peace and trust.

The Role of Prophets
Prophets like Ahijah serve as God's messengers, providing guidance and warnings. We should seek God's word and wisdom through Scripture and prayer.

The Danger of Hypocrisy
Jeroboam's use of disguise highlights the danger of hypocrisy. As Christians, we are called to live authentically, aligning our actions with our faith.

Seeking God in Times of Trouble
Instead of resorting to deception, we should approach God with honesty and humility, trusting in His guidance and provision.

The Importance of Spiritual Leadership
Jeroboam's failure as a leader underscores the need for leaders to be spiritually grounded and obedient to God's will.

What Does 1 Kings 14:2 Mean
And Jeroboam said to his wife

Jeroboam faces a family crisis—the sickness of his son (1 Kings 14:1). Instead of turning to the LORD himself, he turns to his wife, revealing a pattern of delegation and avoidance already seen in his appointing non-Levite priests (1 Kings 12:31). • Cross reference: In 1 Samuel 1:23 Elkanah guides his wife in faith; Jeroboam guides in fear. • Jeroboam once heard the word of God directly (1 Kings 11:29-31), yet now he distances himself, showing the hardening that follows sin (Hebrews 3:12-13).


Now get up

The command is urgent—Jeroboam wants immediate action, echoing the haste of those who know judgment is near (Genesis 19:14-15). • He believes speed can outpace consequences, a lesson contradicted in Psalm 139:7-10, where no one outruns God.


Disguise yourself so they will not recognize you as my wife

• Disguise suggests deceit; similar schemes appear with Saul at Endor (1 Samuel 28:8) and Ahab on the battlefield (2 Chronicles 18:29). Each time, disguise fails before the omniscient LORD (Proverbs 15:3).

• Jeroboam hides his identity instead of his sin (Proverbs 28:13). • The king who erected counterfeit altars (1 Kings 12:28-33) now orchestrates another counterfeit—identity.


Go to Shiloh

Shiloh, once Israel’s central worship site (Joshua 18:1), had lost the ark centuries earlier (1 Samuel 4:4-11). Yet Ahijah still resides there, a silent testimony that God’s word stands even when institutions fall (Isaiah 40:8). • Jeroboam had fenced off Shiloh’s influence by building Bethel and Dan; now he must reverse course to find truth.


For Ahijah the prophet is there

Ahijah’s blindness (1 Kings 14:4) contrasts with his spiritual sight. • Prophets are God’s appointed mouthpieces (Amos 3:7). The king trusts Ahijah’s accuracy, though he resists Ahijah’s authority—an indictment of selective obedience (James 1:22). • Earlier, Ahijah’s torn cloak symbolized Jeroboam’s rise (1 Kings 11:29-31); the same prophet will now foretell his fall.


It was he who spoke about my kingship over this people

Jeroboam remembers the prophetic promise (1 Kings 11:35-38) but forgets the condition: obeying God’s commands. • Blessing is tied to covenant faithfulness (Deuteronomy 28:1-2). • By invoking Ahijah’s earlier word, Jeroboam admits the prophet’s reliability; by refusing repentance, he exposes his own unbelief (Luke 6:46).


summary

Jeroboam’s instructions reveal urgency without repentance, strategy without submission, and memory without obedience. Trust in disguises cannot substitute for trust in God. The same prophet who announced Jeroboam’s rise will announce his downfall, proving that every word of the LORD is certain (Numbers 23:19) and that hearts must align with truth, not merely seek information about it.

(2) Shiloh, the regular habitation of Ahijah, is hardly mentioned in Scripture after the time of Eli, and the destruction which then seems to have fallen upon it, probably after the great defeat by the Philistines (Jeremiah 7:12). It is evident that the old blind prophet still remained there, and exercised his prophetic office for the benefit of Israel, though he stood aloof from, and denounced, the new idolatry of Bethel. This idolatry is always described as pre-eminently the "sin of Jeroboam," who by it "made Israel to sin." Hence, while in consequence of it the royal house is condemned, the people are still regarded as God's chosen people, to whom, even more than to the inhabitants of the kingdom of Judah, the prophets ministered, and to whom--having no longer the Temple and the consecrated royalty of David, as perpetual witnesses for God--the prophetic ministrations were of pre-eminent importance. Accordingly, the wife of Jeroboam is bidden to approach the prophet disguised as a daughter of the people.

Verse 2. - And Jeroboam said to his wife [Conscious that his proceedings would merit Ahijah's reproof, he is afraid to go in person. And his wife - if in this particular we may trust the LXX., an Egyptian princess - could be more readily disguised. The commission was too delicate to be entrusted to a stranger. "None might know it but his own bosom, and she that lay in it" (Bp. Hall). Jeroboam evidently suspected that this sickness was punitive, and he would not have others think so too], Arise, I pray thee, and disguise [lit., change. The word suggests that the disguise was to be effected by a change of garments. "She must put off her robes and put on a russet coat" (ib.) Possibly the queen was not unknown to the prophet (ver. 4)] thyself, that thou [Observe the archaic form אַתִּי for אַתְּ, which latter the Keri would substitute, quite needlessly, here] be not known [Heb. and they (i.e., those whom she met, not the prophet only) shall not know that thou art, etc.] to be the wife of Jeroboam; and get thee to Shiloh [the modern Seilun. "There is no site in the country fixed with greater certainty than that of Shiloh" (Conder, p. 44. See Judges 21:19). The identification, however, was only effected in 1838. Conder gives some interesting particulars which lead him to believe that we can identify the very site of the tabernacle. For its history, see Joshua 16:5; Joshua 18:1-10; Judges 18:31; Judges 21:19; 1 Samuel 4:3; Jeremiah 41:5. Presuming that Tirzah is to be identified with Teiasir (see on ver. 17) Shiloh would be over thirty miles' distant - more than a day's journey to the queen, as the road involves some toilsome climbing]: behold, there is Ahijah the prophet [see on 1 Kings 11:29. Shiloh was probably the birthplace, as well as the residence, of Ahijah. It was in the territory of Ephraim (Joshua 16:6), and at no great distance from Bethel. We can only explain Ahijah's continued residence there, after the migration of the God-fearing Israelites to the southern kingdom, not by his great age, but by the supposition that, having been concerned in the transfer of the kingdom to Jeroboam, he felt it a duty to stay and watch his career. And the time has now come when he can be useful. His relations with Jeroboam had apparently so far been good. He had not protested, so far as we know, against the calf worship, but then God had sent another prophet to do that], which told me that I should be king [Heb. he spake of me for king] over this people. [So that he had already proved himself a true prophet, and so far a prophet of good.]
