Prophet Ahijah
The Holy Prophet Ahijah, (cf. 1/3 Kgs 11:29 ff.) was a
contemporary of Solomon, and was born in the city of Shiloh. The prophet
predicted to Jeroboam his kingly rule over the ten Tribes of Israel,
which God would grant him, snatching them away from the hands of
Solomon. Afterwards Ahijah predicted to Jeroboam the perishing of all
his line. All the predictions of the prophet were fulfilled. The Prophet
Ahijah died in old age 960 years before the birth of Christ.
