1 Regi 13:4

Romanian Cornilescu Translation

Cînd a auzit împăratul cuvîntul pe care -l strigase omul lui Dumnezeu împotriva altarului din Betel, a întins mîna de pe altar, zicînd: ,,Prindeţi -l!`` Şi mîna, pe care o întinsese Ieroboam împotriva lui, s'a uscat, şi n'a putut s'o întoarcă înapoi.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And it came to pass, when King Jeroboam heard the saying of the man of God, who had cried against the altar in Bethel,.... He was highly provoked: so that he put forth his hand from the altar; on which he was burning incense:

saying, lay hold on him; he put forth his hand, and either shook it at the prophet, threatening what he would do to him; or as beckoning to the people to seize him, and which he also expressed:

and his hand, which he put forth against him, dried up, so that he could not pull it in again to him; he could not move it one way nor another, but it remained in the same position, the nerves and muscles being shrunk; which was a further confirmation of the prophet's mission from God, being one of those concerning whom he says, "do my prophets no harm", and a fresh token of the certain performance of what he had said.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 1 Kings 13:4. Lay hold on him. — No doubt, stretching out his own hand at the same time, through rage, pride, and haste, to execute his own orders.

And his hand dried up — The whole arm became suddenly rigid; the nerves no longer communicated their influence, and the muscles ceased to obey the dictates of the will.
