2 Kings 2:19-25

19The men of the city said to Elisha, “My lord can see that even though the city’s location is good, the water is bad and the land unfruitful.”

20He replied, “Bring me a new bowl and put salt in it.” After they had brought him one,

21Elisha went out to the spring, threw salt in it, and said, “This is what the Lord says: ‘I have healed this water. No longer will death or unfruitfulness result from it.’”

22Therefore, the water still remains healthy today according to the word that Elisha spoke.

23From there Elisha went up to Bethel. As he was walking up the path, some small boys came out of the city and jeered at him, chanting, “Go up, baldy! Go up, baldy!”

24He turned around, looked at them, and cursed them in the name of the Lord. Then two female bears came out of the woods and mauled forty-two of the children.

25From there Elisha went to Mount Carmel, and then he returned to Samaria.
