2 Kings 2:19-25 - Elisha Demonstrates His Authority
19 Men from Jericho went to Elisha and said: You may know that this is a fine city but the water is bad and causes miscarriages.
20 He ordered them: Put some salt in a new bowl and bring it to me. They brought it to him, 21 and he went to the spring, threw the salt in the water, and said: This is what Jehovah says: 'I make this water pure. It will not cause any more deaths or miscarriages.' 22 That water has been pure ever since, just as Elisha said it would be.
23 Elisha left Jericho to go to Bethel. On the way some boys came out of a town and taunted and made fun of him. They shouted: Get out of here, baldy! 24 Elisha turned around and glared at them. He cursed them in the name of Jehovah. Then two she-bears came out of the woods and tore forty-two of the boys to pieces. 25 Elisha traveled to Mount Carmel and later returned to Samaria.
