Ahijah

Bible Reference: 1 Kings 11:29-40, 14:1-18, 2 Chronicles 9:29

Ahijah was a prophet of God that served in Shiloh.
He prophesied that the kingdom of Israel would be torn in two following Solomon’s reign.
As a result of his prophecy, Jeroboam was pursued and fled Israel because of the threat he posed to Solomon’s dynasty.
The wife of Jeroboam disguised herself and went to visit the prophet to inquire about her son who was sick.
He prophesied that Jeroboam’s son would die and that his kingdom would end because of the idolatrous practices that Jeroboam had set up.
His son Baasha made sure his prophecies came true by killing off the rest of those in line for the throne of Jeroboam. He then set himself up as king.
