Midrash su I Re 22:20

And the Lord said: “Who shall entice Ahab, that he may go up and fall at Ramoth-gilead?” (I Kings 22:20). This verse indicates that He discussed the law with them (the heavenly hosts). One said: On this manner; and another said: On that manner. And there came forth a spirit and stood before the Lord, and said: “I will entice him” (ibid., v. 20–21). He asked him: “Do you know the cause of the sin?” And He replied: “Yes.” Then He began to discuss His decision with them, as it is said: And one said: On this manner; and another said: On that manner. but in regard to the one who lends money on interest, the Holy One, blessed be He, does not discuss His decision, for it is said: Hath given forth upon interest, and hath taken increase; shall he then live? He shall not live (Ezek. 18:13). He renders His verdict immediately, and the ministering angels declare: He hath done all these abominations; he shall surely be put to death, his blood shall be upon him, he shall not live (ibid.). Thus Moses said: If thou lend.

(Fol. 149 b) R. Jacob, the son of R. Jacob's daughter, said: "He who causes his friend to be punished on his account, will not he permitted to enter into the abode of the Holy One, praised be He!" Whence does he learn this? Shall we assume that it is from that passage (I King 22, 20.) And the Lord said, Who will persuade Achab, that he may go up and fall at Ramoth-Gilead. And one said, in this manner, and another said, in that manner. And there came forth a spirit, and placed itself before the Lord and said. I will persuade him, etc. And he (the spirit) said, I will go forth, and I will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And He said. Thou wilt persuade him, and also prevail; go forth and do so. It was asked who the spirit was. and R. Jochanan answered: "It was the spirit of Naboth, the Yizre'elite. And what is meant by go forth [which the Lord said to the spirit] i.e., go forth from my abode [because of the punishment caused to Achab]. Is it not possible that the reason for expelling the spirit was because it was a false spirit, as it is written (Ps. 191, 7.) He that speaketh falsehood shall not succeed before my eyes. We must therefore say that the opinion is derived from this passage (Pr. 17, 26), To punish [through him] even the just [who is only the cause] is not good. What is not good is certainly evil, hence it is written (Ps. 5, 5.) For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness; evil cannot abide with Thee, i.e., since Thou, God, art right, evil cannot remain in Thy abode.
