Midrash sa 1 Mga Hari 15:30: Pirkei DeRabbi Eliezer & Yalkut Shimoni

עַל־חַטֹּ֤אות יָרָבְעָם֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר חָטָ֔א וַאֲשֶׁ֥ר הֶחֱטִ֖יא אֶת־יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל בְּכַעְס֕וֹ אֲשֶׁ֣ר הִכְעִ֔יס אֶת־יְהוָ֖ה אֱלֹהֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃

dahil sa mga kasalanan ni Jeroboam na kanyang ginawa, at na sa pamamagitan ng mga ito ay pinagkasala niya ang Israel, dahil sa kanyang pagpapagalit na ipinanggalit niya sa Walang-Hanggan, ang Diyos ng Israel.

Pirkei DeRabbi Eliezer

Rabbi Reuben said: The entire body follows the head, and when the shepherd goes astray the sheep go astray after him, as it is said, "For the sins of Jeroboam which he sinned, and wherewith he made Israel to sin" (1 Kings 15:30). When the shepherd is good, all follow after him. Moses began to sing, and to utter praises before the Holy One, blessed be He, and all Israel followed him, as it is said, "Then sang Moses and the children of Israel" (Ex. 15:1). Miriam began to sing and to utter praises, before the Holy One, blessed be He, and all the women followed her, as it is said, "And Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a timbrel… and all the women went out after her" (Ex. 15:20). Whence did they have timbrels and chorus in the wilderness? But the righteous always know and conciliate (God), and are assured that the Omnipresent, blessed be He, performs for them miracles and mighty deeds. Before (the time of) their departure from Egypt they prepared for themselves timbrels and chorus.

Yalkut Shimoni

"From the families of Menashe son of Yosef" (Numbers 27:1) - just as Yosef loved the land, so too those who came from his loins loved the land. "The names of the daughters were Mahlah etc" (Numbers 27:1) - you could imagine (but you'd be wrong) that the one mentioned first was greater in deeds as well, so the text says "they were Mahlah, Tirtzah etc" (Numbers 36:11 presenting different order of names) to teach that they were all equally good. "They stood in front of Moshe" (Numbers 27:2) the text is teaching that they did not stand until they 40th year, the year in which Aharon died, as it says "and Aharon the priest went up etc" (Numbers 33:38).
