1 Kings 21
Heaven records, but may not intervene:
As when king Ahab showed that he was bent
On gaining Naboth's vineyard, and the queen
Jezebel worked to further that intent.
Naboth, defiant to a tyrant's rage,
Said, as he scorned a tyrant's blandishment,
"I will not sell my father's heritage"

it always makes me sad: this story. But I love your sonnet.
