Exegesis
The construct eshet Yarav‘am links eshet {אֵ֣שֶׁת | ʾē-šeṯ} ‘wife of’ with Yarav‘am {יָרָבְעָ֔ם | Yā-rā-ve-‘ām} ‘Jeroboam’, and the unarticulated Shiloh {שִׁלֹ֔ה | Šî-lô} functions as a geographic destination.
In context — 1 Kings 14:4
Jeroboam’s wife did so, and she arose and went to Shiloh , and came to the house of Ahijah. But Ahijah could not see, for his eyes had grown dim because of his old age .
