    There’s a lot of passages about getting rid of corrupt authority; my favorite of which is definitely a story about Ehud in Judges. It has interesting specific details and is kinda comical in a dark way.

    Basically, a corrupt leader gains rule over Israel, and a left-handed assassin takes up to killing him. He sneaks a dagger into the corrupt king’s chamber, stabs him in the bathroom, and the king is so fat that the dagger basically gets stuck in the king. No one finds the body immediately because the servants are like “Oh he must be taking a deuce.”

    The verses are Judges 3:12-30 for anyone curious
