Ahab (Hebrew: אַחְאָב, Modern Aẖ'av Tiberian ʼAḥʼāḇ ; "Brother of the father"; Greek: Αχααβ; Latin: Achab) was king of Israel and the son and successor of Omri according to the Hebrew Bible. His wife was Jezebel.
Ahab became king of Israel in the thirty-eighth year of Asa, king of Judah, and reigned for twenty-two years.William F. Albright dated his reign to 869 – 850 BC, while E. R. Thiele offered the dates 874 – 853 BC.Michael D. Coogan dates his reign to 871-852 BCE.
Omri (Ahab's father and founder of the short lived Omri Dynasty) seems to have been a successful military leader being reported in the text of the Moabite Mesha Stele to have "oppressed Moab for many days". Ahab was succeeded by Ahaziah and Jehoram who reigned over Israel until Jehu's revolt of 842 BC. Ahab married Jezebel, the daughter of the King of Tyre, and the alliance was doubtless the means of procuring political support. Jezreel has been identified as Ahab's fortified chariot and cavalry base. 1 Kings chapters 16-22 tells the story of Ahab and Jezebel, and indicates that Jezebel was a bad influence on Ahab.

Anton Lewellyn: Call me master!
Casella 'Cash' Reese: You used to help people. Do you remember?::Jocko: I... I... I don't.
Decaf: He's a creator. Without him many of us wouldn't be here today.
[first lines]::Casella 'Cash' Reese: [narration] The golden age had ended, and ended badly. Human kind and Cyborg kind had ceased to be partners. For 200 years they had built us to be their friends, do their bidding, fight their wars, cook their food, and share their beds. But the last of the great corporations was dead and gone. And with its passing began the dark time, when the humans hunted us for our parts, our circuitry, and our souls. And no one was safe.
Anton Lewellyn: You know there's two things that I hate. That's a liar and a beggar.
Lord Talon: [grabbing Anton by the arm] At first I really missed own hand. But you know in time I found that this new one had certain advantages. A manicure only took half as long. And at 13 pounds of pressure I found that it made a very acceptable manacle. [slowly tightening his grip] Well, don't you think? At 20 pounds it will make you scratch your testicles 'til you bleed. At 30 pounds, well, it stops the circulation. At approximately 50 pounds I'm advised it will crush the bones, and at 60 you will leave your hand with me.
Finola: Perhaps you'd like to use a real woman.::Anton Lewellyn: No thank you my dear, I prefer a turn-on that can't turn on ya.

Jezebel: [to Ahab] What are you, a king or a piece of dust?
Elijah: Once more I ask you, Ahab, which are you bowing to your mind or your heart?::King Ahab: Do your preaching to the children of Israel, Elijah. Let grown men make their own decisions.::Elijah: You are more than a man, Ahab. You are king of Israel. How you think, how you act affects a whole nation.
Jezebel: [bows before Ahab's presence] My king.::King Ahab: [stunned by Jezebel's beauty] Jezebel... I dared not hoped, I dared not dreamed.::Jezebel: You do not have to dream, my future husband.::King Ahab: Already you have captured my heart. As my queen, you shall capture the heart of all Israel.::Jezebel: To capture your heart, Ahab, is to capture all Israel.
Deborah: [referring to Jezebel] She is very beautiful, isn't she, Jehu? [Jehu stares at Jezebel and does not reply] I said she is very beautiful, isn't she?::Jehu: Oh, yes. She is very beautiful.::Deborah: ...and very evil.::Jehu: Why did you say that, Deborah?::Deborah: Perhaps because I'm a woman... 'cause I can see things in another woman that a man cannot see.
Zara: Queen Jezebel, you must flee.::Jezebel: A queen cannot run from her fate... but, Zara, you must go. Your fate is not mine.
Plot
In this extremely loose adaptation of Melville's classic novel, Ahab is revealed initially not as a bitter and vengeful madman, but as a bit of a lovable scamp. Ashore in New Bedford, he meets and falls for Faith Mapple, daughter of the local minister and beloved of Ahab's brother Derek. Faith herself quickly returns Ahab's love, as Derek is drab and ignoble. On his next voyage, however, Ahab loses a leg to the monstrous white whale Moby-Dick. When upon his return to New Bedford he mistakenly believes Faith wants nothing to do with him because of his disfigurement, Ahab returns to sea with only one goal in mind -- to find and kill the great white whale.

Antarctica the "Polymorphess"
Plays her game of bloody dice
She is so ragged and broken
Yet shatteringly adorable
Many words have been spoken
Her ways purely impassable
To the west: icebergs
Four hundred fathoms high
Our passage south is doubtful
O Father, hear our mournful sighs
This gigantic creature tossed
Its vast bulk across our thole board
Seizing one man - instantly lost
Peters plunged the blade and roared
Clouds of a snowy whiteness
Foreshadow immense fields of ice

Strangely confused in my mind

Slumber of utterly ravenous kind
Waters of forgetfulness: by and by ...
Vast desire to drift off to sleep
Yet trembling at the thought of it
Lest there be some terrific dream
Like burning charcoal in a pit
Like hundredfold calamities
Most ghastly and ferocious
Like misery and monstrosities.
Abandoned and forlorn
Bed myself in waves of disquietude
Bed myself in a multitude of gloom
Bed myself in pernicious solitude
Bed myself in foreboding doom
I feel gray and leafless
My roots concealed in morass
Dreary water lies intense and black
Skeleton arms waving to and fro
Crying to the silent waters of mercy
In the shrill and piercing accents
Of the most acute agony and despair
Bed myself in waves of disquietude
Bed myself in a multitude of gloom
Bed myself in pernicious solitude
Bed myself in foreboding doom
In the desert
I saw a creature, naked, bestial,
Who, squatting upon the ground,
Held his heart in his hands,
And ate of it.
I said, "Is it good, friend?"
"It is bitter – bitter", he answered,
"But I like it
Because it is bitter,

Flat and silent the ocean lies
Pequod's captured in a lull
No gentle breeze blows in the sails
Heated by a salty carpet from above
The crew's emaciated, survival tough
Giant billows bear a mighty whiteness
Screams from the lookout: Whale ahead!
I want this whale, I want it dead!
Hysteria on upper deck
Rabid flames in Ahab's eyes
Hustle and bustle, drag and pull
Panic affects the whaler's moves
Fire!
The harpoon slashes the water's surface
Diving into darkness - the prey escapes
Swallowed by the sea
Starboard lies calm
Portside full of wrath
Possessed by unhuman anger
The heart brawly pumps the blood
Through the marionette of rage
Ahab's visage runs red
I want this whale, I want it dead
A fin erupts from the abyss
Proudly undulates the flesh
Reaches bright horizons Inviolable, manorial
An arrow loosens
... and spirit's away.
Alas! The Marquesas!
Shun the beckoning land!
Choose the open sea instead
To whatever end!
Took down to wondrous depths
Sullen we did go
Where shapes of unwarped primal
Gliding to and fro
Father! Willst thou pity
If dry're freshest cuts
If eyelids crack - mummified
Without trace of blood
Lord, why would thou leave us so misled?
How many warm hearts would cease to beat
In the consequence of it?
Call me Ahab, what, monomaniac
Obsessed with success unlike Steve Wozniak
On the hunt for this mammal that once took my leg
With my warn down crew and my man Queequeg
"You're never going to find him!" He's a big sperm whale
"The ocean is enormous!" Shut up, we're setting sail
This scar that you see that runs down my face
Has scarred my soul and inspired this chase
Mental sickness has got me on the run
Full speed ahead! This is American fun
There is wisdom that is woe, so welcome to my life
It was fine until Moby scarred me like a knife
Towards thee I sail, thou unconquering whale
To stab my spear into your white tail
The first one to stop him gets this gold doubloon
Now excuse me while I go be melancholy in my room!
(Got a low low feeling around me)
Bad trip thanks to Moby Dick!
(And a stone cold feeling inside)
Peg leg, sperm whale, jaw bone, what!
(And I just can't stop messing my mind up)
Whale crash so fast
(Or wasting my time)
Oh no, oh no!
The ship's got a hole, plug it up, plug it up!
"We're never going to find this white whale,
Are we captain?"
Hey Ishmael... can I call you annoying?
Grown up Beluga in the deep blue sea
Swims so fast and swims so free
With the heaven above, Moby Dick stressing me
And this crazy drenched crew below
Call it idiot pride, or call me Oedipus
My main tragic flaw: "But what about us?"
It's your battle too, crew, man vs. beast
At least have respect as we sail south and east
And north and west, look I'm doing my best
While the rain keeps pouring
we're exhausted and stressed
Pip went insane when he almost drowned,
So profound when he shrieks like a little sailor clown
Random ships we met warned us of our doom
They said our boat would be our tomb
Near the Mariana Trench, deep and oceanic
We spotted Moby Dick so white and titanic
I said, "You took my leg, and for that you must die!"
I threw my spear and hit Moby in the eye
He charged the boat, it began to sink
I said, "How about that? Hubris really stinks!"
I didn't think that it would end like this
Pride met fate, this captain got dissed
Let it be a lesson, revenge is never sweet
So I stomp my peg to this Supergrass beat!
(Got a low low feeling around me)
That's it, thanks to Moby Dick!

Peg leg, sperm whale, jaw bone, what!
