Take Micaiah, and carry him back Namely, into prison, where, it seems, he was before shut up; for so the Lord's prophets were treated by Ahab. Feed him with bread of affliction, &c. With very coarse and spare diet, whereby he may be only supported to endure his torment. Until I come in peace Until I return in triumph, which I doubt not I shall, in spite of all his malicious suggestions to the contrary; and then I shall call him to an account for all his lies and impudence. Hard usage for one that would have prevented his ruin! We see here how confident Ahab was of success! He questions not but he should return in peace, forgetting what he himself had said to Ben-hadad, Let not him that girdeth on his harness boast: but there was little likelihood of his returning in peace when he left one of God's prophets behind him in prison.
