2 Kings 2:19-25

19And the menH376 of the cityH5892 saidH559 unto ElishaH477, Behold, we pray thee, the situation of this cityH5892 is pleasant, as my lordH113 seeth: but the waterH4325 is badH7451, and the landH776 miscarrieth. 20And he saidH559, Bring me a newH2319 cruse, and putH7760 saltH4417 therein. And they brought it to him. 21And he wentH3318 forthH3318 unto the spring of the watersH4325, and castH7993 saltH4417 therein, and saidH559, ThusH3541 saith Jehovah, I have healedH7495 these watersH4325; there shall not beH1961 from thence any more deathH4194 or miscarrying. 22So the watersH4325 were healedH7495 unto this dayH3117, according to the wordH1697 of ElishaH477 which he spake.

23And he wentH3318 up from thence unto Beth-el; and as he was goingH3318 up by the wayH1870, there cameH3318 forthH3318 youngH5288 ladsH5288 out of the cityH5892, and mocked him, and saidH559 unto him, GoH3318 up, thou baldhead; goH3318 up, thou baldhead. 24And he lookedH7200 behind him and sawH7200 them, and cursedH7043 them in the nameH8034 of Jehovah. And there cameH3318 forthH3318 twoH8147 she-bears out of the wood, and tare fortyH705 and twoH8147 ladsH3206 of them. 25And he wentH7725 from thence to mount CarmelH3760, and from thence he returnedH7725 to SamariaH8111.
