1 Kings 14:2

and disguise thyself She was to put on such a dress that no one would recognise her for the queen. Jeroboam no doubt felt that the prophets generally were against him, and that if it were known that he was the applicant, he would receive an unfavourable answer. Josephus describes the queen as putting aside her royal robe, and assuming the dress of a private person. Otherwise she could scarcely have gone abroad on her errand. Of course she was also to conceal her identity from Ahijah, but as he was not able to see, the dress would have mattered little on his account. In the LXX. (Alex.) it is said -they shall not know thee", i.e. people generally.

Ahijah On Ahijah and Shiloh see above on 1 Kings 11:29.

which told me that I should be king R.V. - Which spake concerning me that I should be king". This is somewhat nearer to the Hebrew, but the difficulty is in the word rendered -that I should be king" which is a noun with a preposition לְמֶלֶךְ = -for a king", where we should have expected rather the verbal form לִמְלךְ.
