1 Kings 22:27

“And say, thus saith the king, put this fellow in prison, etc.] In the common prison of the city, where he had been before, as it seems; and might be now ordered into a more confined place in it, and what might be called “little ease”: and feed him with bread of affliction, and with water of affliction; with bad bread and foul water, and but little of either; just enough to keep alive, and to continue starving: until I come in peace; which he seemed confident of, and intimates that then he would punish him more severely, even with death, as a false prophet.”

“bread of affliction, water of affliction--that is, the poorest prison fare. Micaiah submitted, but reiterated aloud, in the presence of all, that the issue of the war would be fatal to Ahab.”

“Feed him with bread of affliction ... - Micaiah is to be once more put in prison, but, in order to punish him for his uncomplying spirit, upon a poorer and scantier diet than he had been previously allowed. This is to continue until Ahab returns in peace. Ahab introduces this expression purposely, in order to show his entire disbelief of Micaiah’s prophecy. return to 'Top of Page'”

“Bread, &c. - With a very course and sparing diet, whereby he may be only supported to endure his torment. 3 Kings (1 Kings) 22:31”
