United Monarchy of IsraelAhab married Jezebel, the daughter of King Ithobaal I of Tyre, and the alliance was doubtless the means of procuring political support. 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 Aram Damascus is he believed to have had strained relations. The Battle of Qarqar is one event mentioned by external sources and was perhaps at Apamea) where Shalmaneser III of Assyria fought a great confederation of princes from Cilicia, Northern Syria, Israel, Ammon and the tribes of the Syrian desert (853 BC). Here Ahab (A-ha-ab-bu mat) (Adad-'idri).

2. Atticus Finch The Hero Of To Kill A Mockingbird Is Rated The Greatest American Hero
September 03, 2009
Who is the greatest American hero? Brad Pitt? Arnold? John Wayne, James Dean, Clint Eastwood...?
Answer: the hero of Harper Lee's immortal novel To Kill a Mockingbird: Atticus Finch.
Forget about Captain Ahab, Rambo, Rocky, Mike Hammer, Rooster Cogburn...or if you are a political junkie: George Washington and Abe Lincoln. Pound for pound Americans prefer Atticus over anybody who can be somebody.
In our country when we don't assist in a crime we may be prosecuted under the "depraved indifference" statutes. Ordinary citizens tend not to get involved, and that is understandable even t... (read more)

3. Bible story: God sends Elijah to King Ahab (Part 3)
August 04, 2008
On the day appointed a great crowd gathered on Mt Carmel. The 450 prophets of Baal were there on one side with the king. Elijah stood alone as a prophet of the living God. He stood up boldly and said to the people, “How long are you going to be undecided? If the Lord is God then follow Him, but if you believe that Baal is god, then follow him.” The crowds of people were quiet. Perhaps some of them hung their heads in shame that they had turned from the God of their fathers, but they said nothing, and none of them stood with Elijah. Then he said again, “The prophets of Baal are 450 but I am the... (read more)

July 31, 2008
King Ahab was very angry and sent soldiers out to look for Elijah. They went through the land of Israel, and even to the nearby nations to see if they could find him. But God had hid Elijah from the wrath of the king. He told him to go down to a little brook that flowed into the River Jordan. There were no houses or towns nearby where he could get food, but God sent him food everyday. The ravens brought him bread and meat in the morning and then again in the evening. He drank water from the little brook. The king never thought to look for him there.
Week after week went by and there was n... (read more)

July 08, 2007
“Ahoy, mateys” “All hands on deck” “All ashore that’s going ashore” Seafaring expressions one and all. Phrases one can almost hear coming out of the mouth of Captain Ahab or Christopher Columbus or Captain Stubing of “The Love Boat” – or even Captain James T. Kirk of the USS Starship Enterprise. But – from Mickey Mouse??? Well, in a word, yes. The same Mickey Mouse who introduced us to such delightful realms as the Magic Kingdom, Adventureland, Main Street USA, Tomorrowland, Epcot and Fantasyland has joi... (read more)

8. An SEOGOOG SandBox
May 26, 2006
A few weeks ago, I presented myself with a challenge – to do some Internet sleuthing and get to the bottom of this perplexing condition that newly search engine optimized websites (that’s SEO) face known as the Google Sandbox. At times this endeavor made me empathize with Captain Ahab chasing his white whale, but unlike Ahab, I’m not going to meet a watery grave today. ICMediaDirect.com provides SEOs with life jackets – so I got that going for me, which is good. The obsession to confirm, pin down, and counteract the effects of this Sandbox is proving as difficult and elusive as any whale hu... (read more)
