Elisha Begins His Ministry

²² And the waters were healed to this day, according to the saying of Elisha which he spoke. ²³ And he went up from there to Bethel. And he was going up in the highway. And little boys came out from the city and mocked him, and said to him, Go up, bald head! Go up, bald head! ²⁴ And he turned behind him and saw them, and declared them vile in the name of Jehovah. And two she-bears came out of the woods and tore forty-two boys of them.
