| And Ahab rode and went to Jezreel. Then the hand of the LORD was on Elijah, and he girded up his loins and outran Ahab to Jezreel. |
| Unlike Long John Silver, Captain Ahab uses no crutch, for he has replaced his missing limb with a piece of jaw-bone taken from a sperm whale. |

| And Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, and withal how he had slain all the prophets with the sword. |
