A Bible example of meekness is Moses.
Numbers 12:1-4,13 KJV
[1] And Miriam and Aaron spake against Moses because of the Ethiopian woman whom he had married: for he had married an Ethiopian woman.
[2] And they said, Hath the LORD indeed spoken only by Moses? hath he not spoken also by us? And the LORD heard it.
[3] (Now the man Moses was very meek, above all the men which were upon the face of the earth.)
[4] And the LORD spake suddenly unto Moses, and unto Aaron, and unto Miriam, Come out ye three unto the tabernacle of the congregation. And they three came out.
[10] And the cloud departed from off the tabernacle; and, behold, Miriam became leprous, white as snow: and Aaron looked upon Miriam, and, behold, she was leprous.
[13] And Moses cried unto the LORD, saying, Heal her now, O God, I beseech thee.
When Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses, Moses did not say a word back to them, but let the Lord take care of it. (At least, it is not recorded that Moses said anything.) God responded by giving Miriam leprosy. Even though Miriam had sinned against Moses, not only did Moses abstain from being vindictive, he pleaded to God for her healing.
