This brought to mind the Book of Esther in the Bible. The story in a nutshell:
King Xerxes' queen, Vashti, disses him, so the king tells her to GTFO. The king selects beautiful Esther to be his new queen. Now Esther is a Jew but the king doesn't know this. Esther's relative, Mordecai, uncovers a plot to assassinate the king, he tells Esther about it, and she tells the king, giving credit to Mordecai. Xerxes executes the traitors.
Everything is peachy until the king's top assistant, Haman (think Cabal, Hussein, POS, etc.) gets pissed when Mordecai, refuses to bow down to him after he gets a promotion by the king. Haman learns that Mordecai is a Jew and hatches this plan to kill him and all of his people. Haman goes to Xerxes and suggests they kill all Jews in the Empire because, well, they do bad things against the king. Xerxes says "OK."
Esther gets wind of this evil plot against Mordecai and her people, so she pulls an "Admiral Rogers" and makes an unscheduled visit to Xerxes (a huge no no in those days, even for a queen). Esther is worried the king might execute her for visiting him unannounced, but—to the contrary—he is comfy and pleased. He offers to give her whatever she wants. She asks him to have a banquet for her and Haman the next day. Then, after that banquet, she asks for another one on the following day. Meanwhile, Haman is excited about the massacre that's about to happen. Feeling really smug—he never thought he would lose—he sees Mordecai again and that puts him in a rage, Haman builds a huge gallows to "suicide" him on.
But Haman's hopes are dashed the following morning, when the king—remembering how Mordecai saved his life—orders Haman to honor Mordecai and lead him in a parade through the town! Haman very reluctantly does this. At the second banquet, Esther goes full SA and asks the king to punish Haman for trying to kill her and her people. The king learns Haman built a gallows for Mordecai, so he orders Haman be hanged on the same gallows. Eventually a boat load of traitorous conspirators were all hanged as well. Esther and Mordecai helped Xerxes Make the Empire Great Again.
