5 And Jehovah himself had said to A·hiʹjah: “Here is the wife of Jer·o·boʹam coming to apply for a word from you regarding her son; for he is sick. This way and that is how you should speak to her. And it will occur* that as soon as she arrives, she will be making herself unrecognizable.”+

38 Then the prophet went and stood still for the king by the road, and he kept himself disguised+ with a bandage over his eyes.
