If you have already translated the book of 1 Samuel, see how you translated the similar expression in [1 Samuel 9:11](../1sa/09/11.md). Alternate translation: [and the prophet Ahijah the Shilonite met him]

Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns

The pronoun he refers to Ahijah. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: [And Ahijah was wearing a new cloak]
