1 Kings 14:6 -

And it was so, when Ahijah heard the sound [Heb. voice ] of her feet as she came in [ בָּאָה should strictly be plural, in agreement with רַגְלֶיהָ feet . It is in the singular, probably because the writer is thinking of the woman. But see Ewald, 317 a , and cf. 1 Samuel 4:15 ] at [Heb. in ] the door, that he said, Come in, thou wife of Jeroboam; why feignest thou thyself to be another? [Heb. makest thyself strange, as in verse 5] for [the Heb. "and" brings out the meaning much better, which is, "Thou art cleverly playing a part, and I all the while have a message," etc.] I am sent to thee with heavy [same word as in 1 Kings 12:13 ; there translated rough ] tidings . [Heb. omits. For the construction see Ewald, 284 c .]
