You know all those white whales out there have mutilated plenty of others before they finally get around to finding an obsessive nutjob like Ahab who will follow them to the ends of the earth, rather than just curse them while hobbling along the shore with the surf breaking about their little white wooden legs. Maybe when a white whale chews your legs off its really just best to move on with your life, not become an obsessed borderline psychotic or that weird guy who hobbles along the beach every day shaking his fist and screaming, his head uplifted towards the sky about how he was wronged by a sea mammal.

1 Kings 21:4-7 (ANIV)
4 So Ahab went home, sullen and angry because Naboth the Jezreelite had said, "I will not give you the inheritance of my fathers." He lay on his bed sulking and refused to eat.
5 His wife Jezebel came in and asked him, "Why are you so sullen? Why won't you eat?"
6 He answered her, "Because I said to Naboth the Jezreelite, 'Sell me your vineyard; or if you prefer, I will give you another vineyard in its place.' But he said, 'I will not give you my vineyard.' "
7 Jezebel his wife said, "Is this how you act as king over Israel? Get up and eat! Cheer up. I'll get you the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite."
DRAWING NOTES:
TIME OF DAY:
Unspecified in Bible.
LIGHTING NOTES:
This scene is set inside Ahab’s bed chamber. Defused daylight illuminates this scene.
CHARACTERS PRESENT:
Ahab - son of Omri, king of Israel is the man in bed.
Jezebel, his wife, stands to the right of the scene.
RESEARCH/ADDITIONAL NOTES:
This scene is set in Ahab’s bedchamber. We see him in the middle of his bed, arms folded and with an expression of sulking bad humour on his face. His Siodonian wife, Jezebel, stands to the side of his bed, her expression is one of mockery, as she goads him with the words, "Is this how you act as king over Israel?" Then she tells her husband that she will get him Naboth’s vineyard... the scene is set for an innocent’s murder.
I decided to put an ornate woven tapestry on the wall above Ahab’s bed. I reasoned that Ahab joined his wife in worshipping the “gods” of the Sidonians, so I researched them. I discovered that Ahab & Jezebel worshipped the goddess Asherah. This would have been done by erecting an Asherah pole, which was a carved pole or sacred tree, which stood on a high place/hill. In the tapestry we can see one such tree of pole in the centre of the scene, with four women dancing around it. There are buildings in the background, and a leaf motif along the left & right margins.
The symbol of the Mesopotamian storm god Adada was a ship and a leonine (resembling a lion) dragon. Adad roughly equates with the later Phoenician storm god Baal. Jezebel was infamous for promoting Baal worship in Israel at this time. I have designed a gold necklace & gold belt for Jezebel, which have this winged lion/dragon & ship symbolism on them.

"Elijah the Tishbite, of Tishbe in Gilead, said to Ahab, ‘As the Lord lives, the God of Israel whom I serve, there shall be neither dew nor rain these years except at my order.’
The word of the Lord came to him, ‘Go away from here, go eastwards, and hide yourself in the wadi Cherith which lies east of Jordan. You can drink from the stream, and I have ordered the ravens to bring you food there.’ He did as the Lord had said; he went and stayed in the wadi Cherith which lies east of Jordan. The ravens brought him bread in the morning and meat in the evening, and he quenched his thirst at the stream."

1 Kings 21:1-3 (ANIV)
Naboth’s Vineyard
1 Some time later there was an incident involving a vineyard belonging to Naboth the Jezreelite. The vineyard was in Jezreel, close to the palace of Ahab king of Samaria. 2 Ahab said to Naboth, "Let me have your vineyard to use for a vegetable garden, since it is close to my palace. In exchange I will give you a better vineyard or, if you prefer, I will pay you whatever it is worth."
3 But Naboth replied, "The Lord forbid that I should give you the inheritance of my fathers."
DRAWING NOTES:
TIME OF DAY:
Not specified in the Bible narrative, I have set the scene in the early afternoon.
LIGHTING NOTES:
The sun (over head & to the left) illuminates this scene, casting shadows below & to the right of figures & objects.
CHARACTERS PRESENT:
King Ahab (of Israel) is the figure in red, Naboth is wearing a rough grey-brown outer robe, amongst the grape vines.
RESEARCH/ADDITIONAL NOTES:
The first verse of this story benefits from some explanation. The previous chapter (1 Kings 20:35-43) is about Ben-Hadad’s Aramean army being defeated by king Ahab, but Ahab lets Ben-Hadad live, somethig the Lord had decided against. At the end of the chapter a prophet condemns Ahab, and he goes back to his palace in Samaria sullen & angry!
Then we have the story of Naboth’s vineyard, in which Jezebel (Ahab’s evil wife) arranges the death of the vineyard owner, so that her husband (Ahab) can take possession of it... all very sinister & wicked!
Ahab - son of Omri, king of Israel (see 1 Kings 16:29). Omri had bought a hill from its owner Shemer for 150 pounds of silver, & built the city of Samaria on it, in honour of Shemer (see 1 Kings 16:24). Omni, and his son Ahab ruled from Samaria.
The scene above shows king Ahab of Isarel, walking into Naboth’s vineyard. Naboth is the figure behind Ahab.
The king has flung his arms wide to indicate his desire to buy the entire vineyard. Naboth’s facial expression tells us he isn’t keen on that idea! Indeed, the Lord God had expressly forbidden the Israelites from permanently selling their land (see Leviticus 25:23-28; Numbers 36:7) [1] Based on this legal prohibition of selling land, it was entirely correct for Naboth to refuse Ahab, & it was entirely wrong of Ahab to even ask to buy Naboth’s land... both men would have known the law of Moses in regard to this proposed transaction.
The colour for the stone walls & ground I established in the Bible Cartoon “1 Kings 19 - Elijah flees to Horeb - Scene 01 - Jezebel’s threat”, so I thought I would use the same colours in this scene, to preserve the colour continuity in my pictures of the region of Samaria.
Just visible above the walls of the city of Jezreel, the flat roof of Ahab’s palace can be seen, supported by many stone pillars. There are a few people (guards & watchmen) on top of the walls too!
I first drew King Ahab in Jan 2016 in the picture entitled “1 Kings 17 - Elijah fed by ravens - Scene 01 - No rain”. The colours & clothing design I have used for Ahab, in the scene above, is identical to the “No rain” one. Of course I doubt very much that king Ahab would go & visit Naboth’s vineyard in his finest royal costume, I expect he had “work clothes” suitable for that! However, in order to help viewers readily identify the many, many characters I have drawn, I think it prudent to use the same clothes, even in different settings, to aid their recall & for the sake of continuity between scenes/stories.

Illustration from "La Sainte Bible : Ancien Testament . . . / Compositions par J.-James Tissot"; with preface by Antonin Gilbert Sertillanges (1863-1948), introduction by Maurice de Brunoff (1861-1937) and the translation into French of Isaac-Louis Lemaistre de Saci (1613-1684). 2 volumes. Paris: M. de Brunoff & Cie, 1904. The illustrations were originated by James Tissot (1836-1902) who sketched as he read Scripture.
The edition, of which 561 copies were printed, contains 360 mounted colour, black-and-white and duo-tone illustrations in the text and 40 plates in three states: sepia-tone, partly hand-coloured, and finished coloured state. The plates are protected with captioned tissue-guards. The paper size is 15.75 x 13 ins; image size varies (circa 8.5 x 5.5 ins).
The paintings for all 400 Illustrations were based exclusively on the complete sketches (the inspiration being entirely Tissot's). The first 200 illustrations covering the Book of Genesis through to the story of Jephthah's daughter in the Book of Judges were painted by Tissot. The last remaining 200 illustrations were painted after Tissot's death in 1902 by Henri Bellery-Desfontaines, Auguste François Gorguet, Charles Hoffbauer, Louis van Parys, Michel Simonidy and Georges Bertin Scott.

The annual croquet match takes place between the U.S. Naval Academy and St. John’s College in Annapolis, Maryland. This is the only sport in which the two compete. The two campuses lie less than a half-mile apart. One school was established in 1845, the other in 1696. One has a student body of 4,500, the other 450. Yet tiny St. John’s has dominated the cross-town rivalry, taking the trophy 25 of the 30 years the competition has been going on.
The Naval Academy team is comprised exclusively of members of 28th Company, chosen at the team captain’s discretion. The Midshipmen wear crisp, U.S. Croquet Association “Croquet Whites,” along with a team tie, varying from year to year. The Johnnie uniform changes every year, revealed only minutes before each match. Additionally, several Plebes (first year Midshipmen) in dress mess uniforms serve refreshments to the players.
Spectators come dressed in all manner of finery, with a heavy emphasis on historical tradition, formal dress, ballroom dancewear, or the just plain outlandish. A mixture of live and piped in music playing primarily big band and swing tunes provides the fleet of foot with ample opportunity to step out.
