Enduring Slander with Humility – 2 Samuel 16:1–23 (July 16, 2025)

In 2 Samuel 16, David is betrayed by Ziba, cursed by Shimei, and publicly shamed by Ahithophel's counsel to Absalom. And yet—he doesn't lash out. He entrusts himself to the Lord, saying, "It may be that the Lord will repay me with good for his cursing today." This episode of Reading the Bible Daily with Dave walks through David's humility, the weight of false accusation, and how his response ultimately points us to Christ—the King who was slandered, reviled, and crucified, yet remained obedient and faithful. 🔑 Key Themes: • False Accusation • Gospel Humility • Divine Justice • Prophetic Fulfillment • Christ the Greater King 📖 Scripture: 2 Samuel 16:1–23 ✝️ Memory Verse: 2 Samuel 16:12 📅 Air Date: July 16, 2025 🎙️ Series: Reading the Bible Daily with Dave 🔗 https://servantsofgrace.org/reading-the-bible-daily-with-dave/
