SEV Biblia, Chapter 16:10
Y enojado Asa contra el vidente, lo echó en la casa de la cárcel, porque fue en extremo conmovido a causa de esto. Y mató Asa en aquel tiempo algunos del pueblo.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 2 Chronicles 16:10
Verse 10. Asa was wroth with the seer] Instead of humbling himself, and deprecating the displeasure of the Lord, he persecuted his messenger: and having thus laid his impious hands upon the prophet, he appears to have got his heart hardened through the deceitfulness of sin; and then he began to oppress the people, either by unjust imprisonments, or excessive taxations.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 10. Then Asa was wroth with the seer , etc.] For this faithful reproof of him, which was another instance of his sin and folly: and put him in a prison house ; in a very strait place, in which he could not turn himself, what we call “little ease”; some say it was the stocks, others a pillory he put him into: for he was in a rage with him because of this thing ; his passion rose very high, and to which he gave way, and was his infirmity: and Asa oppressed some of the people the same time ; by fines and imprisonments, such as perhaps expressed their disapprobation of his league with the king of Syria, and of his ill usage of the prophet.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Asa seeks the aid of the Syrians, His death. --A plain and faithful reproof was given to Asa by a prophet of the Lord, for making a league with Syria. God is displeased when he is distrusted, and when an arm of flesh is relied on, more than his powe and goodness. It is foolish to lean on a broken reed, when we have the Rock of ages to rely upon. To convince Asa of his folly, the prophe shows that he, of all men, had no reason to distrust God, who had foun him such a powerful Helper. The many experiences we have had of the goodness of God to us, aggravate our distrust of him. But see ho deceitful our hearts are! we trust in God when we have nothing else to trust to, when need drives us to him; but when we have other things to stay on, we are apt to depend too much on them. Observe Asa' displeasure at this reproof. What is man, when God leaves him to himself! He that abused his power for persecuting God's prophet, wa left to himself, to abuse it further for crushing his own subjects. Tw years before he died, Asa was diseased in his feet. Making use of physicians was his duty; but trusting to them, and expecting that from them which was to be had from God only, were his sin and folly. In all conflicts and sufferings we need especially to look to our own hearts that they may be perfect towards God, by faith, patience, an obedience __________________________________________________________________
