Exegesis
The causal conjunction ki {כִּֽי | kî} ‘for’ plus the gerund phrase beza‘af immo {בְזַעַף עִמּוֹ | bəzaʿāf ʿimmô} ‘wrath with-him’ and the demonstrative al-zot {עַל־זֹאת | ʿal-zōṯ} ‘over-this’ clarifies the motive.
In context — 2 Chronicles 16:10
And Asa became angry with the seer and confined him in the house of the stocks , for he was enraged with him over this. And Asa oppressed some of the people at that time.
