- Newari: “The LORD had spoken to Ahijah like this, "Jeroboam’s wife has come to ask you about her son who is sick. You are to speak to her like this. When she comes, she will pretend to be someone else so that she will not be recognized."” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
- Hiligaynon: “But the LORD said to Ahia, ‘The wife of Jeroboam is-coming here disguising-herself so-that she would- not -be-recognized. She will-ask you about her child who is sick, and you answer her what I will-tell you.’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “But before she got there, Yahweh told Ahijah that Jeroboam’s wife was coming to inquire about their son, who was very sick. And Yahweh told Ahijah what he should tell her.
When she came to him, she pretended to be another woman.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
