Clarke's 1-kings 22:27 Bible Commentary
Feed him with bread of affliction - Deprive him of all the conveniences and comforts of life; treat him severely; just keep him alive, that he may see my triumph.
Barnes's 1-kings 22:27 Bible Commentary
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.
Wesley's 1-kings 22:27 Bible Commentary
22:27 Bread, &c. - With a very course and sparing diet, whereby he may be only supported to endure his torment.
