Defame, Defaming
Defame, Defaming
de-fam, de-faming: These words occur but twice in the King James Version, and are translations of , dibbah, slander, from dabhath, to slander, or spread an evil report, and , blasphemeo, to speak injuriously of anyone (Jer 20:10; 1Co 4:13). To defame differs from to revile in that the former refers to public slander, the latter to personal abuse.
