Elijah speaking to Ahab is a good example. Another example is Jeremiah contending with the priests who said that Israel would soon return, and break the yoke of Babylon. Those priests had the power of the sword; they had the power to put Jeremiah in an iron cage, and lower him into a pit in the ground. But they lacked the power to discern the will of God.
Likewise Ahab's Jezebel. She had the power of the sword and tried to kill Elijah. But God had the power to hide him in the wilderness, and send a raven with a piece of bread, to sustain him.
The Hive Mind tries to protect itself, and if it feels threatened it threatens in return. It cares not for truth, for mercy, or for love. The Hive must be protected, at all costs.
