Day 19: The Biblical Bizarre

Over a dinner conversation, my friend brought up the story of Elisha sending the she-bears after some boys who were teasing him.
!?
Yup. It's there! Randomly sandwiched between a couple of miracles.

2 Kings 2: 23-25

23Then he went up from there to Bethel; and as he was going up by the way, young lads came out from the city and (AB)mocked him and said to him, "Go up, you baldhead; go up, you baldhead!"

24When he looked behind him and saw them, he (AC)cursed them in the name of the LORD. Then two female bears came out of the woods and tore up forty-two lads of their number.

25He went from there to (AD)Mount Carmel, and from there he returned to Samaria.
