Elisha Begins His Ministry

²² So the waters were healed to this day, according to the word of Elisha which he spoke. ²³ And he went up from there to Bethel. And as he was going up by the way, there came forth young lads out of the city, and mocked him, and said to him, Go up, thou baldhead; go up, thou baldhead. ²⁴ And he looked behind him and saw them, and cursed them in the name of LORD. And there came forth two she-bears out of the wood, and tore forty-two lads of them.
