Went in disguise. The prophet knew anyway.
Wife of Jeroboam, king of Israel, and mother of Abijah. When our boy fell ill my husband sent me to Shiloh dressed as someone else, with ten loaves, some cakes and a jar of honey for the prophet.
Tirzah, IsraelFirst seen 1 Kings 14:2
Our son Abijah is ill. My husband told me to disguise myself so nobody would know I’m his wife, and go to Shiloh to ask Ahijah the prophet what will happen to the boy. Ahijah’s blind now, he’s so old. I’d barely come through the door when he called out: come in, wife of Jeroboam. Why the disguise?

He said the boy would die as I stepped into the city. I went home to Tirzah. As I stepped through the door, he died.
