1 Kings 14:1-6 – True Divine Sight
“Divine sight” is a poetic way to describe someone’s claim to see things only God can reveal. While the term is not used in scripture, I find it interesting that the blind prophet “sees” despite his blindness and sees despite the disguise of Jeroboam’s wife, who she really is. I also find it interesting that Jeroboam’s wife hides her true self in order to learn the truth about her son. In response, Ahijah does not disguise his words – “I have bad news for you” (14:6).
