Brett Holden/Capt Ahab and his ability to find and catch fish have propelled him to be a top player in the sport-fishing world. With his finely honed crew and a battleship called the Booby Trap, he has become an unstoppable fishing machine. His desire for excellence has led the Booby Trap to become the top private boat in the Houston Big Game Fishing Club for 5 consecutive years! Capt Ahab is a pioneer and has become the most recognized sword fisherman in the Gulf of Mexico (read about it in the June 2011 issue of Sportfishing Magazine) catching a record 8 daytime swords in one day and has logged over 500 swordfish to date. Capt Ahab was also was behind the helm of the Booby Trap for the first ever recorded Super Grand Slam in the Gulf of Mexico, catching 2 Blue Marlin, 2 Swordfish, 2 Sailfish and a white marlin in a single day. When he fires the Booby Trap up he no longer sees her as a vessel but as a weapon, 40 knots in forward and 10 knots in reverse, he fears no seas only the fuel bill…
He's less scarred from this angle.

Ahab has no patience for pretenders or their fancy weapons.

Another literary artifact. This is a gold Ecuadorian eight escudo piece from 1843, the one Captain Ahab nails, as an incentive to the crew, to the mast of the Pequod in Chapter 36 of Moby-Dick. Later, in Chapter 99, several of the crew examine the doubloon and speculate about it and its symbols, a sort of serial chorus of interpretations. Presumably the coin is still redolent with "Quito glow" and nailed to the mast, full of verdigris, when the ship drops from sight in the final chapter of the story.

1 Kings 21:20-26 (ANIV)
20 Ahab said to Elijah, "So you have found me, my enemy!"
"I have found you," he answered, "because you have sold yourself to do evil in the eyes of the Lord. 21 'I am going to bring disaster on you. I will consume your descendants and cut off from Ahab every last male in Israel—slave or free. 22 I will make your house like that of Jeroboam son of Nebat and that of Baasha son of Ahijah, because you have provoked me to anger and have caused Israel to sin.'
23 "And also concerning Jezebel the Lord says: 'Dogs will devour Jezebel by the wall [1] of Jezreel.'
24 "Dogs will eat those belonging to Ahab who die in the city, and the birds of the air will feed on those who die in the country."
25 (There was never a man like Ahab, who sold himself to do evil in the eyes of the Lord, urged on by Jezebel his wife. 26 He behaved in the vilest manner by going after idols, like the Amorites the Lord drove out before Israel.)

DRAWING NOTES:
TIME OF DAY:
Unspecified in Bible narrative above. I have set this scene at mid morning.
LIGHTING NOTES:
The sun (over head) illuminates this scene, through dark clouds, so there are only vague shadows to the left of objects & figures.
CHARACTERS PRESENT:
Elijah is on the left, talking to Ahab the king of Israel (the figure in red).
Behind Ahab is Jehu (who later become the king of Israel), who is the man in a conical bronze helmet with blue turban. Behind him on the left is Bidkar, who became Jehu’s chariot officer, when he became king.
The other man is an un-named soldier.
RESEARCH/ADDITIONAL NOTES:
I have used the same background in this Bible Cartoon as in “1 Kings 21 - Naboth’s Vineyard - Scene 01 - King Ahab’s offer”. Notice the clouds which are stormier than in scene 01. They are providing a red tinge to the walls of the city, the vineyard, etc.
Elijah is rebuking king Ahab for allowing his wife, Jezebel to the murder Naboth. In the very piece of ground which the king had coveted and (through Jezebel’s action) seized, the prophet appeared to declare the end of Ahab’s reign, life & dynasty. Attending Ahab was a captain named Jehu, who would become God’s instrument or vengence on Ahab, & who was chosen to replace Ahab as king. This fact was not unoticed by Jehu (see 2 Kings 9:25-26) [1].
Ahab had made himself the enemy of the Lord and His people by doing evil in the eyes of the Lord God. God promised to bring disaster on Ahab personally and to destroy his descendants; Ahab would have to stand alone without allies. As for Jezebel, Elijah correctly predicted her death & that dogs would eat her by the wall of Jezreel; a terrible but deserved end to a thoroughly evil, manipulative queen (see 2 Kings 9:35-37). Apparently, wild dogs lived off the rubbish in twons & cities such as Jezreel.
Verses 25-26 give the writer of 1 King’s own assessment of the character & nature of king Ahab, who was unique in his wickedness. He sold himself to do evil in the Lord’s eyes (see verse 20). Jezebel urged him on in evil, being devoid of any spiritual sensitivity or conscience. In pursuing idolatry Ahab behaved in the vilest manner by following the sinful ways & practices of the Amorites whom we know from the Bible God had driven out of the Holy Land when the Israelites entered it in Joshua’s day (see Joshua 10:12-13).
[1]
2 Kings 9:25-26
25 Jehu said to Bidkar, his chariot officer, “Pick him up and throw him on the field that belonged to Naboth the Jezreelite. Remember how you and I were riding together in chariots behind Ahab his father when the Lord spoke this prophecy against him: 26 ‘Yesterday I saw the blood of Naboth and the blood of his sons, declares the Lord, and I will surely make you pay for it on this plot of ground, declares the Lord.’[a] Now then, pick him up and throw him on that plot, in accordance with the word of the Lord.”

Oh why must you be so difficult Mr. Ahab?!
The plunger mechanism wouldn't work at all when I tried to fill my pen, even after cleaning it. But eventually I managed to get my pen to work the way I wanted it to, somewhat. Somehow I got it to suck in SOME ink, and I'm fine with that for now.
It's a smelly pen. Even after a good cleaning with soapy water it still smells like grease.
The ink I have in the pen atm is Noodler's X-Feather.

Ordered the death of the priests of Ahab & Jezebel, those lousy Baalists, and, under threat of death, fled to the caves of Mt. Horeb. Winds blew, fire rained, the earth shook, but these were not God. No, God spoke to Elijah in a still, small voice, sent him to Damascus to anoint the kings of Syria and Israel. Further adventure ensued. Finally, Elijah flew off in a chariot of fire and things quieted down.

1 Kings 21:17-19 (ANIV)
17 Then the word of the Lord came to Elijah the Tishbite: 18 "Go down to meet Ahab king of Israel, who rules in Samaria. He is now in Naboth's vineyard, where he has gone to take possession of it. 19 Say to him, 'This is what the Lord says: Have you not murdered a man and seized his property?' Then say to him, 'This is what the Lord says: In the place where dogs licked up Naboth's blood, dogs will lick up your blood—yes, yours!' "
DRAWING NOTES:
TIME OF DAY:
Unspecified in Bible narrative above. I have set this scene at mid morning.
LIGHTING NOTES:
The sun is above & to the right in this scene (unseen), casting shadows to the left of objects & the figure.
CHARACTERS PRESENT:
Elijah, the prophet.
RESEARCH/ADDITIONAL NOTES:
The Bible narrative above does not tell us where Elijah was when he heard the Lord God command him to go & talk to Ahab, the king of Israel. So I could have set this scene anywhere, but I decided to draw Elijah in the Valley of Doves, which is just west of the Sea of Galilee. It is a dramatic site, that is a suitable background for Elijah’s revelation from the Lord.
Tishbe (where Elijah was from) was about 8.5 miles (13.6 km) north of the Sea of Galilee.
Samaria was about 30 miles (48 km) south west of the Valley of Doves, and about 44 miles (70.8 km) south west of Tishba, as the crow flies.
Once again God chose Elijah to bear a message of judgment to Ahab, the king of Israel. Although Jezebel was directly responsible for Naboth’s death, the king was ultimately responsible since Jezebel’s letter to the elders ordering Naboth’s murder had been sent with his seal. God’s charge against Ahab (spoken via Elijah) was committed the crime of murdering naboth & seizing his property.
Dogs licking up a person’s blood was considered a disgraceful death; doubly so for a king whose body would normally be carefully guarded and buried with great respect. Elijah left no doubt in Ahab’s mind concerning whose blood he referred to with his phrase “yes, yours!”
