 1 KINGS 14

On account of the severe illness when his son, Jeroboam sends his wife to consult the prophet Ahijah regarding his recovery. The prophet, though blind with old age, knows the wife of Jeroboam as soon as she approaches, and under a divine impulse he announces to her that the child will die. Shishaq, the Pharaoh, attacks Jerusalem, looting the temple and palace, leaving Rehoboam compelled to use bronze to replace the golden shields of Solomon that Shishaq had taken.
