None have shown an evil God.
I propose the God portayed in Micah.

Micah 1:12 For the inhabitant of Maroth waited carefully for good: but evil came down from the LORD unto the gate of Jerusalem.
Micah 2:3 Therefore thus saith the LORD; Behold, against this family do I devise an evil, from which ye shall not remove your necks; neither shall ye go haughtily: for this time is evil.
Micah 5:14-15 And I will pluck up thy groves out of the midst of thee: so will I destroy thy cities. And I will execute vengeance in anger and fury upon the heathen, such as they have not heard.
I think that when the story actually specifically says that God is doing evil, devising evil actions and executing vengeance, anger and fury, that it suggests more than any other story that God isn't completely good.
But, I don't think it rules out that God is good either. Bipolar perhaps, but not psychopathic. Take what the story ends with as an example.
quote:
Micah 7:18 Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? He retaineth not his anger for ever, because he delighteth in mercy.
