Moby-Dick skipper (4)

I believe the answer is:

ahab

(Other definitions for ahab that I've seen before include "Jezebel's husband, wicked king in the 'Old testament'" , "Jezebel was wife of this King of Israel" , "Ancient king of Israel" , "sea captain" , "Melville's Captain" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.
