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

²³ From there Elisha went up to Bethel.^(A) As he was walking up the path, some small boys came out of the city and jeered at him,^(B) chanting, “Go up, baldy! Go up, baldy!” ²⁴ He turned around, looked at them, and cursed them in the name of the Lord.^(C) Then two female bears came out of the woods and mauled forty-two of the children.
