2 Kings 2:19-25 - Elisha Demonstrates His Authority

19 And the men of the city said to Elisha, Behold, please, the location of this city is pleasant, as my lord sees. But the waters are bad, and the ground is barren.

20 And he said, Bring me a new jar and put salt in it. And they brought to him. 21 And he went forth to the spring of the waters and threw the salt in there, and said, So says Jehovah, I have healed these waters. There shall not be any more death or barrenness from there. 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. 25 And he went from there to Mount Carmel, and from there he returned to Samaria.
