	Ahab - LoveToKnow 1911
		He married Jezebel, the daughter of the king of Sidon, and the alliance was doubtless the means of procuring him great riches, which brought pomp and luxury in their train.
		During Ahab's reign Moab, which had been conquered by his father, remained tributary; Judah, with whose king, Jehoshaphat, he was allied by marriage, was probably his vassal; only with Damascus is he said to have had strained relations.
		Here Ahabbu Sir'lai (Ahab the Israelite) with Baasha, son of Rulhub (Rehob) of Ammon and nine others are allied with Bir-'idri (Ben-hadad), Ahab's contribution being reckoned at 2000 chariots and 10,000 men.

	"Ahab" by Robert I Bradshaw
		In the case of Ahab this meant allowing the worship of Ba’al-Melqart the chief god of Tyre, whose devotee Jezebel was, and building a temple of Ba’al for her in Samaria (16:32-33; 2 Kings 3:2).
		Ahab spared his life using language reminiscent of that that would be used by equal partners in a covenant; an action that brought prophetic condemnation and in the long term was ill-advised.
		Ahab dissembled that there was one, but that he never cared to hear what that man had to say.

	Ahab (WebBible Encyclopedia) - ChristianAnswers.Net
		After three years of peace, for some reason Ahab renewed war (1 Kings 22:3) with Ben-hadad by assaulting the city of Ramoth-gilead, although the prophet Micaiah warned him that he would not succeed, and that the 400 false prophets who encouraged him were only leading him to his ruin.
		Ahab went into the battle disguised, to try to escape the notice of his enemies; but an arrow from a bow "drawn at a venture" pierced him, and though he stayed up in his chariot for a time he died towards evening, and Elijah's prophecy (1 Kings 21:19) was fulfilled.
		Because of his idolatry, lust, and covetousness, Ahab is referred to as an excellent example of a wicked king (2 Kings 8:18; 2 Chr.

	Ahab - International Standard Bible Encyclopedia
		Ahab, son of Omri, the seventh king of Israel, who reigned for twenty-two years, from 876 to 854 (1 Kings 16:28), was one of the strongest and at the same time one of the weakest kings of Israel.
		Ahab, recognizing the advantages that would accrue to his kingdom from an alliance with the foremost commercial nation of his time, renewed the old relations with the Phoenicians and cemented them by his marriage with Jezebel, daughter of Ethbaal, king of Tyre (the Ithobalos, priest of Astarte mentioned by Meander).
		Ahab replies, "Let not him that girdeth on his armor boast himself as he that putteth it off." At the advice of a prophet of Yahweh, Ahab, with 7,000 men under 232 leaders, inflicts a crushing defeat upon Benhadad and his 32 feudal kings, who had resigned themselves to a drunken carousal (1 Kings 20-21).

	Ahab
		The prosperous reign of Ahab and his friendly connections with Phoenicia brought much wealth into the country, enabling the king to engage in extensive building activities, attested in the Bible by only a brief word (1 Ki 22:39), but corroborated by the excavation of Samaria.
		Ruins of the city indicate that Ahab built his palace next to and partly on that of Omri, and that he had his residence decorated with beautifully carved ivory plaques, from which it evidently became known as Ahab’s ivory palace.
		Personally Ahab seems to have considered himself a worshiper of Yahweh, for he consulted Yahweh’s prophets repeatedly (chs 20:13, 14, 22, 28; 22:8, 16), and gave to at least three of his children names incorporating the divine name Yahweh: Ahaziah, Joram (Jehoram), and Athaliah.

		Ahab was periodically rebuked by the prophets of YaHWeH, such as Elijah (I Kings 17:1, 18:18); sometimes he was benevolently guided by them (I Kings 20); and several times his doom was pronounced by these messengers of God (I Kings 20:41-43, 21:17-24, 22:17).
		Ahab's life does not seem to have been unduly hard or bitter, and his attitude toward the God who persistently revealed himself is remarkably hostile.

	Moby-Dick
		Small reason was there to doubt, then, that ever since that almost fatal encounter, Ahab had cherished a wild vindictiveness against the whale, all the more fell for that in his frantic morbidness he at last came to identify with him, not only all his bodily woes, but all his intellectual and spiritual exasperations.
		Ahab's boat was central; and cheering his men, he told them he would take the whale head-and-head, -- that is, pull straight up to his forehead, -- a not uncommon thing; for when within a certain limit, such a course excludes the coming onset from the whale's sidelong vision.
		The rarely imagined character [Ahab] has been grievously spoiled, nay altogether ruined, by a vile overdaubing with a coat of book-learning and mysticism; there is no method in his madness; and we must needs pronounce the chief feature of the volume a perfect failure, and the work itself inartistic.
