Reference: Provoke
Hastings
To provoke' is now 'to try to call forth evil passions,' but in AV it is used in the sense of inciting to any action, good or evil, as 2Co 9:2 'Your zeal hath provoked very many.' 'Provocation,' however, always occurs in a bad sense. It is used in Ps 95:8 of the conduct of the children of Israel towards God in the wilderness.
