2 Samuel 16:1-14
We see how words are used for smooth talk or trash talk, flattery or condemnation. In this passage, David is confronted by Ziba who lies to benefit from David’s circumstances, and then by Shimei who takes David’s disaster to heap greater denunciation upon the king. David’s response shows us our need to critique both acclaim and criticism.
