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.
