'Defaming' in the Bible

accusing her of impropriety and defaming her reputation by saying, "I married this woman but when I had sexual relations with her I discovered she was not a virgin!"

For I have heard the defaming of many, Terror on every side: While they took counsel together against me, They devised to take away my life.

For I heard the defaming of many, fear on every side. Report, say they, and we will report it. All my familiars watched for my halting, saying, Peradventure he will be enticed, and we shall prevail against him, and we shall take our revenge on him.

therefore prophesy and say, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because, yea, because they have made you desolate, and have swallowed you up on every side, that ye might be a possession unto the remnant of the nations, and ye are taken up in the lips of talkers, and in the defaming of the people:

amid glory and dishonor; by evil report and good report; branded as deceivers and yet [vindicated as] truthful;

whereas even angels who are superior in might and power do not bring a reviling (defaming) accusation against them before the Lord.
