And Jeroboam's wife did so, and went to Shiloh, and came
to
the house of Abijah
Disguised herself, and took this long journey, and found the
prophet's house; which she did partly in obedience to her
husband, and partly from affection to her child: but Abijah could
not see; her or anybody else that came into the room to him:
for his eyes were set by reason of his age;
or "stood" fixed and immovable, as the eyes of blind men are; or
the nerves and muscles of his eyes stood within the holes
thereof, so that he could not see objects.
