This mirrors the response of other kings, such as Ahab's reaction to Micaiah (<a href="/1_kings/22-8.htm">1 Kings 22:8</a>). The seer, a term used for prophets, was God's messenger, and Asa's anger indicates a rejection of divine correction, a dangerous spiritual state.and became so enraged over this matter The matter in question was Hanani's rebuke of Asa for relying on the king of Aram instead of God (<a href="/2_chronicles/16-7.htm">2 Chronicles 16:7-9</a>). Asa's rage signifies a hardened heart, unwilling to accept God's sovereignty. This reaction contrasts with earlier in Asa's reign when he sought the Lord's guidance (<a href="/2_chronicles/14-11.htm">2 Chronicles 14:11</a>), showing a spiritual decline.that he put the man in prison Imprisoning the seer demonstrates Asa's attempt to silence God's voice, akin to other biblical figures who persecuted prophets, such as Jeremiah (<a href="/jeremiah/37-15.htm">Jeremiah 37:15</a>). This act of oppression highlights Asa's shift from a godly king to one who resists divine authority, a cautionary tale of power corrupting faithfulness.And at the same time Asa oppressed some of the people Asa's oppression of the people indicates a broader misuse of power, affecting not just the seer but also his subjects. This behavior is reminiscent of other kings who turned away from God and subsequently mistreated their people, such as Rehoboam (<a href="/1_kings/12-14.htm">1 Kings 12:14</a>).

And Asa oppressed some of the people the same time. This may throw some explanatory, though no exculpatory, light on Asa's wrath and violence towards Hanani; for it probably marks that either some goodly portion of the wiser of the people had anticipated of their own common sense the matter of the message of Hanani the seer, or that they had not failed to follow it with some keenly sympathetic remarks For our Authorized Version, "oppressed," read a stronger verb, as "crushed." <a href="/commentaries/2_chronicles/16-10.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div>Asa אָסָ֜א (’ā·sā) Noun -
