22. And the water has remained pure to this day, according to the word Elisha had spoken.
23. From there Elisha went up to Bethel. As he was walking along the road, some boys came out of the town and jeered at him. “Get out of here, baldy!” they said. “Get out of here, baldy!”
24. He turned around, looked at them and called down a curse on them in the name of the Lord. Then two bears came out of the woods and mauled forty-two of the boys.
25. And he went on to Mount Carmel and from there returned to Samaria.
