- 2 Chronicles 16:12
In the thirty-ninth year of his reign, Asa became diseased in his feet, and his malady became increasingly severe. Yet even in his illness he did not seek the LORD, but only the physicians.
Commentary on 2 Chronicles 16:122 voices
Diseased in his feet - He had a strong and long fit of the gout; this is most likely. He sought not to the Lord - He did not seek discipline from the face of the Lord, but from the physicians. - Targum. Are we not taught by this to make prayer and supplication to the Lord in our afflictions, with the expectation that he will heal us when he finds us duly humbled, i.e., when the end is answered for which he sends the affliction?
Adam Clarke· Commentary on the Bible, 1832Evangelical
Sought not - He did not humble himself before God, but put his confidence in the skill and faithfulness of his physicians. His making use of physicians was his duty, but his trusting in them, and expecting that from them, which was to be had from God only, was his sin and folly.
John Wesley· Explanatory Notes upon the Old Testament, 1765Evangelical
