2 So Jer·o·boʹam said to his wife: “Rise up, please, and you must disguise+ yourself that they may not know that you are the wife of Jer·o·boʹam, and you must go to Shiʹloh. Look! There is where A·hiʹjah+ the prophet is. He is the one that spoke with reference to me as to becoming king* over this people.+

11 At that Je·hoshʹa·phat said:+ “Is there not here a prophet of Jehovah?+ Then let us inquire of Jehovah through him.”+ So one of the servants of the king of Israel answered and said: “There is here E·liʹsha+ the son of Shaʹphat, who poured out water upon the hands of E·liʹjah.”+

13 “Go, inquire+ of Jehovah in my own behalf and in behalf of the people and in behalf of all Judah concerning the words of this book that has been found; for great is Jehovah’s rage+ that has been set afire against us over the fact that our forefathers+ did not listen to the words of this book by doing according to all that is written concerning us.”+
