| II Chronicles 16:10
| And Asa was angry with the seer, and commanded him to be put in prison: for he was greatly enraged because of this thing: and he put to death many of the people at that time.
| Prison. Literally, "in bonds," (nervum) made of leather thongs or nerves, (Haydock) or of iron, to confine either the neck or the feet. (Isidor. orig. 5. ultra) --- Hebrew, "the house of disturbance." Septuagint, etc., "prison." Some explain it (Calmet) of the stocks to enclose the neck. (Vatable) --- Time, either because they expressed the same sentiments as the prophet, (Calmet) or because they disapproved of his imprisonment. (Tirinus) --- Septuagint, "Asa made havoc among the people," etc. (Haydock)
