Teks -- 1 Kings 14:5 (NET)

14:5 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 so-and-so. When she comes, she will be in a disguise.”

Tafsiran/Catatan -- Catatan Kata/Frasa (per frasa)

JFB: 1Ki 14:3-11 - And take with thee ten loaves, and cracknels, and a cruse of honey, and go to him

This was a present in unison with the peasant character she assumed. Cracknels are a kind of sweet seed-cake. The prophet was blind, but having received divine premonition of the pretended countrywoman's coming, he addressed her as the queen the moment she appeared, apprised her of the calamities which, in consequence of the ingratitude of Jeroboam, his apostasy, and outrageous misgovernment of Israel, impended over their house, as well as over the nation which too readily followed his idolatrous innovations.

Clarke: 1Ki 14:5 - Feign herself to be another woman

Feign herself to be another woman - It would have been discreditable to Jeroboam’ s calves, if it had been known that he had consulted a prophet of Jehovah.

Tafsiran/Catatan -- Catatan Kata/Frasa (per Ayat)

Gill: 1Ki 14:5 - And the Lord said unto Abijah // behold, the wife of Jeroboam cometh to ask a thing of thee for her son, for he is sick // thus and thus shall thou say unto her // for it shall be, when she cometh in, that she shall feign herself another woman

And the Lord said unto Abijah,.... Either in a dream, or by an impulse upon his mind, before Jeroboam's wife came in:

behold, the wife of Jeroboam cometh to ask a thing of thee for her son, for he is sick; to know whether he will recover or not:

thus and thus shall thou say unto her; as after expressed in some following verses:

for it shall be, when she cometh in, that she shall feign herself another woman; to the people that let her in, and introduce her to the prophet, and to the prophet himself; pretend herself to be a countrywoman come to ask a question of the prophet concerning her son that was ill of a disease.
