Ahijah


Ahijah the son of Ahitub

The priest of the LORD in Shiloh who wore an ephod. Ahitub was Ichabod's brother, son of Phinehas, son of Eli. (1 Samuel 14:2-3)

He hid with Saul in the pomegranate cave at Migron while Jonathan and his armor-bearer infiltrated and attacked the Philistine garrison. When the watchmen noticed the camp in panic, Saul asked him for the ark of God, soon initiating battle against the Philistines. (1 Samuel 14:2-23)

Ahijah the prophet

The LORD told him the wife of Jeroboam is coming to inquire about her sick son Abijah and how to respond. Despite his failing eyesight, he recognized her and prophesied that he was given the house of David's kingdom, but unlike David, he did evil and committed idolatry, so every male will be cut off from his house and will be eaten by dogs or birds. When the wife of Jeroboam returns to her city, Abijah will die. All Israel will mourn and bury him because in him, there is found something pleasing to the LORD in the house of Jeroboam. Israel will be scattered beyond the Euphrates because of the sins of Jeroboam. The LORD's words came true. (1 Kings 14:1-20)

Ahijah the son of Shisha

Elihoreph and Ahijah the sons of Shisha were secretaries for King Solomon. (1 Kings 4:3)
