2 Kings 2:23-25

Common English Bible

Elisha and the bears

²³ Elisha went up from there to Bethel. As he was going up the road, some young people came out of the city. They mocked him: “Get going, Baldy! Get going, Baldy!” ²⁴ Turning around, Elisha looked at them and cursed them in the Lord’s name. Then two bears came out of the woods and mangled forty-two of the youths. ²⁵ From there Elisha went to Mount Carmel and then back to Samaria.
