Read down to the center, where the pattern turns; then rise back out through its mirror.

  • A 1-3 Jeroboam instructs wife to disguise thyself, that thou be not known to be the wife of Jeroboam and visit prophet Ahijah
    • B 3 he shall tell thee what shall become of the child
      • C 4 Jeroboam's wife did so...came to the house of Ahijah
        • D 4 But Ahijah could not see; for his eyes were set by reason of his age
      • C' 5 the wife of Jeroboam cometh to ask a thing of thee
    • B' 5 thus and thus shalt thou say unto her
  • A' 5-6 Wife shall feign herself to be another woman but Ahijah recognizes her, saying thou wife of Jeroboam; why feignest thou thyself to be another?
