2 Kings 2:19-25 - Elisha Demonstrates His Authority
19 Then the men of Jericho said to Elisha, "Behold, the city standeth pleasantly as my lord seeth, but the water is nought and the ground barren."
20 And he said, "Bring me a new cruse and put salt therein." And they brought it to him. 21 And he went unto the spring of the water and cast the salt in thither, and said, "Thus sayeth the LORD, 'I heal this water, there shall not come henceforth either death or barrenness.'" 22 And the water was healthsome ever after according to the saying of Elisha which he spake.
23 And he went from thence up to Bethel. And as he was going up in the way, there came little lads out of the city and mocked him, and said to him, "Go up, thou bald head! Go up thou baldhead!" 24 And he turned back and looked on them and cursed them in the name of the LORD. And there came two bears out of the wood and tare forty two of the boys. 25 And he went from thence to mount Carmel, and from thence went again to Samaria.
