2 Kings 2:19-25

19And the men of the city said to Elisha, Behold, I pray thee, the situation of this city is pleasant, as my lord seeth: but the water is bad, and the ground barren.1 20And he said, Bring me a new cruse, and put salt in it. And they brought it to him. 21And he went forth to the spring of the waters, and cast the salt in there, and said, Thus saith the LORD, I have healed these waters; there shall not be from there any more death or barren land . 22So the waters were healed to this day, according to the saying of Elisha which he spoke. 23And he went up from there to Bethel: and as he was going up by the way, there came forth youths out of the city, and mocked him, and said to him, Go up, thou bald head; go up, thou bald head. 24And he turned back, and looked on them, and cursed them in the name of the LORD. And there came forth two she bears out of the wood, and tore forty and two youths of them. 25And he went from there to mount Carmel, and from there he returned to Samaria.
