Kabbalah su I Re 13:4
וַיְהִי֩ כִשְׁמֹ֨עַ הַמֶּ֜לֶךְ אֶת־דְּבַ֣ר אִישׁ־הָאֱלֹהִ֗ים אֲשֶׁ֨ר קָרָ֤א עַל־הַמִּזְבֵּ֙חַ֙ בְּבֵֽית־אֵ֔ל וַיִּשְׁלַ֨ח יָרָבְעָ֧ם אֶת־יָד֛וֹ מֵעַ֥ל הַמִּזְבֵּ֖חַ לֵאמֹ֣ר ׀ תִּפְשֻׂ֑הוּ וַתִּיבַ֤שׁ יָדוֹ֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר שָׁלַ֣ח עָלָ֔יו וְלֹ֥א יָכֹ֖ל לַהֲשִׁיבָ֥הּ אֵלָֽיו׃
E avvenne, quando il re udì il detto dell'uomo di Dio, che gridò contro l'altare di Beth-el, che Geroboamo stese la mano dall'altare, dicendo: 'Afferralo.' E la sua mano, che egli gli mise contro, si prosciugò, in modo che non potesse tirarlo indietro.
Idra Zuta
Rabbi Shimon said, how different is this time from the Greater Gathering in Portion Naso. During that gathering, the Holy One, blessed be He, appeared along with his chariots. Now the Holy One, blessed be He, appears with the righteous that are in the Garden of Eden. This did not occur at the gathering. And the Holy One, blessed be He, delights in the honor of the righteous more than in his own, as written about Jeroboam who offered incense and worshipped idols but the Holy One, blessed be He, was longsuffering with him and did not punish him. But once he put out his hand against Ido the prophet, his hand dried up, as written, “And his hand, which he put out against him, dried up” (I Melachim 13:4). It does say that for his idol worship, but for putting out his hand against Ido the prophet. And now the Holy One, blessed be He, delights in our honor, seeing that all the righteous in the Garden of Eden accompanied him.
