There are a number of artistic, dramatic, musical and literary works that are based on, or inspired by, the story of Naboth and his vineyard. These are less common now than was once the case, as the use of the expression as a cultural reference appears to have declined.

A brilliant future would certainly await us were it not for those wretched Yankees who hunger & thirst for Naboth's field - War will come some day between England & the United States.'"<ref>John A. : the man who made us : the life and times of John A.
