There’s actually a book referencing this story and the Mexican American war, it is described as similarly overtly aggressive and immoral/unjust, and that the Texas territory and California had always been the naboths vineyard of brother johnathan, Jonathan is a connotation for Mexico, since she had always owned that space since its independence with Spain. The book is called the Taking of Naboths Vineyard by David Lee Child, and other books referencing naboths vineyard are the anti Texas legion remonstrance, which British politicians oppose the Texas revolt and say it was a naboths vineyard instances for the United States

This story is more rich than you have allowed, John. Ahab's sons paid the penalty for their father's transgression much the same way that Ham's did. The story, and others of this ilk, show how sins of the father are inherited by future generations. That the mind and spirit of an individual can culminate in genetic expression which is carried forward in familial lineage. The name "Naboth" also has its root in terms such as "fruitfulness" and "to bring forth": Naboth may very well have been a prophet, and the fact that Naboth was killed seems to preview a lot of new testament passages concerning fruitfulness of the vine (as regards truthful teachings and godward conduct). This seems to be a continuance of a motif that can be traced back to Genesis; with Noah planting his vineyard, only to then have his own son, Ham, attempt to usurp his position within the construct of their community at that point in time... The inheritance of land and its significance is also resonant with, or an external parallel to heredity and the inheritance of blood: that is to say, the inheritance of spiritual characteristics that find their genetic expression in subsequent generations. (Remember: it is of the soil from which man is also made...)

Jezebel a type of Judaism in the bible. Jezebel the daughter of baal married the king of Israel. bringing in the idolatry religion of Judaism. King Ahab and his wife Jezebel desired Naboths Vinyard. Naboth a picture of Christ. read 1 Kings 8 So she wrote letters in Ahab's name, and sealed them with his seal, and sent the letters unto the elders and to the nobles that were in his city, dwelling with Naboth. 9 And she wrote in the letters, saying, Proclaim a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people: 10 And set two men, sons of Belial, before him, to bear witness against him, saying, Thou didst blaspheme God and the king. And then carry him out, and stone him, that he may die. 11 And the men of his city, even the elders and the nobles who were the inhabitants in his city, did as Jezebel had sent unto them, and as it was written in the letters which she had sent unto them. 12 They proclaimed a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people. 13 And there came in two men, children of Belial, and sat before him: and the men of Belial witnessed against him, even against Naboth, in the presence of the people, saying, Naboth did blaspheme God and the king. Then they carried him forth out of the city, and stoned him with stones, that he died. this is a picture of Christ being killed by two wittnesses the Pharisees and the romans. what was the motive ? 21 And it came to pass after these things, that Naboth the Jezreelite had a vineyard, which was in Jezreel, hard by the palace of Ahab king of Samaria. 2 And Ahab spake unto Naboth, saying, Give me thy vineyard, that I may have it for a garden of herbs, because it is near unto my house: and I will give thee for it a better vineyard than it; or, if it seem good to thee, I will give thee the worth of it in money. 3 And Naboth said to Ahab, The Lord forbid it me, that I should give the inheritance of my fathers unto thee. the Vinyard King Ahab and Jezebel desired was the Vinyard of Christ. read in Revelation how this idolatry religion is still trying to seduce the church Revelation 2:20 - Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols. The prophet Elijah annointed Jehu in hebrew the meaning is he is God. Jehu went and the Eunuchs threw Jezebel over the wall and the dogs ate all but her hands, feet and skull. yet future God over throws Jezebel feeds her to the dogs. The false religion defeated.
