Commentators highlight King Asa's intense anger not as a mere personal failing, but as a rejection of God's correction. Instead of repenting after the prophet Hanani's rebuke, Asa imprisoned him. Matthew Henry notes this shows what can happen "when God leaves him to himself," turning a once-faithful king against God's messenger. This serves as a warning against hardening our hearts to faithful reproof.
