1 Kings 14:2-3

2 Jeroboam said to his wife, "Go, disguise yourself, so that it will not be known that you are the wife of Jeroboam, and go to Shiloh; for the prophet Ahijah is there, who said of me that I should be king over this people.

3 Take with you ten loaves, some cakes, and a jar of honey, and go to him; he will tell you what shall happen to the child."
