2 Chronicles 16:12. Asa was diseased in his feet Afflicted with the gout in a high degree. “He put the prophet in the stocks,” says Henry, “and now God put him in the stocks; so his punishment answered his sin.” Until his disease was exceeding great עד למעלה חליו , ad lemaalah chaljo, until his disease came to the height, or, until it ascended, namely, to his stomach, or head: and then it became mortal.

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - 2 Chronicles 16:1-14

Reformation under Asa (14:1-16:14)God’s blessings on Asa showed his pleasure with those who removed Canaanite customs and restored the Levitical order of worship. God rewarded Asa by giving him a remarkable victory over a large and powerful army that invaded from the south. This sign of God’s pleasure encouraged Asa to continue his reforms with greater boldness (14:1-15:19; see notes on 1 Kings 15:9-15).When, however, Asa trusted in outside help instead of trusting in God, he displeased God and... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - 2 Chronicles 16:12

12. Asa . . . was diseased in his feet—probably the gout. yet his disease was exceeding great—better, "moved upwards" in his body, which proves the violent and dangerous type of the malady. yet in his disease he sought not to the Lord, but to the physicians—most probably Egyptian physicians, who were anciently in high repute at foreign courts, and who pretended to expel diseases by charms, incantations, and mystic arts. Asa's fault consisted in his trusting to such physicians, while he... read more

3. Asa’s failure ch. 16Three parts also mark this record of the later period of Asa’s reign: his war with Baasha (2 Chronicles 16:1-6), Hanani’s sermon (2 Chronicles 16:7-10), and the conclusion of his reign (2 Chronicles 16:11-14).Asa’s heart was right in that he consistently loved God. Nevertheless, like David, his obedience lapsed. He trusted in a foreign alliance and later in physicians more than in Yahweh. This resulted in defeat and death."Asa, then, has done a complete volte-face from... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - 2 Chronicles 16:2-14

C. Asa 14:2-16:14Chronicles gives much more attention to Asa than Kings does. That is because Asa’s experiences illustrated the points the Chronicler wanted to drive home to his readers.We have already seen in Rehoboam’s history that obedience brought blessing from God, but disobedience brought discipline (chs. 11-12). The Chronicler used this retributive motif frequently. We see it clearly here in Asa’s history. [Note: Raymond B. Dillard, "The Reign of Asa (2 Chronicles 14-16): An Example of... read more

Reign of Asa (concluded)This chapter reproduces with some verbal differences 1 Kings 15:17-24, but adds an account of a rebuke received by Asa from the seer Hanani.1.
