'Stretched Out His Hand' in the Bible

And Solomon stood before the altar of the LORD in the sight of all the congregation of Israel and stretched out his hands to heaven,

It happened at the moment the king heard the word of the man of God that he cried out against the altar in Bethel, Jeroboam stretched out his hand from the altar, saying, "Seize him!" But his hand which he stretched out to him was paralyzed, and he was not able to draw it back to himself.
