{{For|other individuals with this name|Ahijah}}Ahijah the Shilonite ({{Hebrew Name 1|אחיה השילוני|Aḥiya ^[1] ('brother of Yah'^[2]) Hashiloni)}}, was a Levite prophet of Shiloh in the days of Solomon, as mentioned in the Hebrew Bible's 1 Kings. Ahijah foretold to Jeroboam that he would become king ({{bibleverse|1|Kings|11:29|HE}}).^[3]

The Hebrew Bible records two of his prophecies. In {{bibleverse|1|Kings|11:31-39|HE}}, he announced the separation of the Northern ten tribes from Solomon's united kingdom, forming the Northern Kingdom. In {{bibleverse|1|Kings|14:6-16|HE}}, Ahijah's prophecy, delivered to Jeroboam's wife, foretold the death of the king's son, the destruction of Jeroboam's dynasty, and the fall and captivity of Israel "beyond the River", a stock expression for the land east of the Euphrates.^[4]

According to 2 Chronicles, Ahijah also authored a book, described as the Prophecy of Ahijah the Shilonite, which contained information about Solomon's reign.^[5] This text, however, has not survived and is one of the lost texts mentioned in the Hebrew Bible. In {{bibleverse|1|Kings|11:41|NKJV}} it is referred to as the "Book of the Acts of Solomon".

Rabbinic tradition credits Ahijah with having lived a very long life, linking his life-span with that of antediluvian patriarchs such as Methuselah and Adam.^[6]
