THE MESSAGE
At about this time Jeroboam's son Abijah came down sick. Jeroboam said to his wife, "Do something. Disguise yourself so no one will know you are the queen and go to Shiloh. Ahijah the prophet lives there, the same Ahijah who told me I'd be king over this people. Take along ten loaves of bread, some sweet rolls, and a jug of honey. Make a visit to him and he'll tell you what's going on with our boy."

Contextual Overview
1 At that time Jeroboam's son Abijah became sick. 2 And Jeroboam said to his wife, "Get ready and dress yourself so no one will know that you are the wife of Jeroboam. Then go to Shiloh. Ahijah the man who speaks for God is there. He is the one who said that I would be king over these people. 3 Take ten loaves, some sweet bread and a jar of honey with you, and go to him. He will tell you what will happen to the boy." 4 Jeroboam's wife did so. She got ready and went to Shiloh, and came to Ahijah's house. Now Ahijah could not see. His eyes were weak because he was old. 5 The Lord had said to Ahijah, "The wife of Jeroboam is coming to ask you about her son, for he is sick. This is what you should say to her. When she comes she will pretend to be another woman." 6 When Ahijah heard the sound of her feet coming to the door, he said, "Come in, wife of Jeroboam. Why do you pretend to be another woman? For I have been given news that will be hard for you.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
At that time Abijah, the son of Jeroboam, fell sick. Being smitten of God with some disease, as a punishment of Jeroboam's sin; how long this was after the above things were done cannot be said.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
At that time - The phrase here connects the narrative which follows with Jeroboam’s persistence in his evil courses. The event related is the first judgment upon him for his obduracy, the beginning of the cutting off of his house from the face of the earth.
Abijah - We see by this name that Jeroboam did not intend to desert the worship of Yahweh, since its signification is “Yahweh is my father,” or “Yahweh is my desire” Job 34:36.

NOTES ON CHAP. XIV
Verse 1 Kings 14:1. Abijah - fell sick — This was but a prelude to the miseries which fell on the house of Jeroboam; but it was another merciful warning, intended to turn him from his idolatry and wickedness.
