Exegesis
The temporal clause ʿad šûwî bəšālôm {עַד שׁוּבִי בְשָׁלוֹם | ʿad šûwî bəšālôm} ‘until I return in peace’ sets a clear duration. The repeated term laḥaṣ intensifies the severity, while the vav-consecutive framework and direct address preserve the king’s authoritative tone and emphasize the provisional nature of the sentence.
In context — 2 Chronicles 18:26
And you shall say, “Thus says the king : ‘Place this one in the prison house and feed him bread of affliction and water of affliction until I return in peace .’”
