Day 159-11


Then Asa was wroth with the seer, and put him in a prison house; for he was in a rage with him because of this thing. And Asa oppressed some of the people the same time.  (2 Chronicles 16:10)

Gill's commentary -

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.

Temper, temper.  Hmmm....those 3 fingers keep pointing back at me.

Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:  (Ephesians 4:26)
