2 Chronicles 16:10 Meaning and Commentary

2 Chronicles 16:10

Then Asa was wroth with the seer
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.

2 Chronicles 16:10 In-Context

8 Didn't the Ethiopians and Libyans come against you with superior forces, completely outclassing you with their chariots and cavalry? But you asked God for help and he gave you the victory.

9 God is always on the alert, constantly on the lookout for people who are totally committed to him. You were foolish to go for human help when you could have had God's help. Now you're in trouble - one round of war after another."

10 At that, Asa lost his temper. Angry, he put Hanani in the stocks. At the same time Asa started abusing some of the people.
