Ahijah
Ahijah the Shilonite was a Levite prophet in the days of Solomon (1 Kings 11:29).
Two of his prophecies include 1 Kings 11:31–39 where he foretold the separation of the Northern ten tribes from Solomon's United Kingdom of Israel, forming the Northern Kingdom. In 1 Kings 14:6–16, Ahijah's prophecy to the wife of Jeroboam when he foretold the death of the king's son, the destruction of the House of Jeroboam, and the fall and captivity of Israel "beyond the River" referring to the land east of the Euphrates.
According to 2 Chronicles 9:29 Ahijah authored a book, described as the "Prophecy of Ahijah the Shilonite" and is one of the non-canonical books referenced in the Bible that did not survive. It appears to be called the Acts of Solomon 1 Kings 11:41[1] and 2 Chronicles 9:29[2]
Rabbinic tradition makes the claim that Ahijah lived a very long life like the antediluvian patriarchs including Methuselah and Adam.
