About this book

The tale in 2 Kings 2 about what happened to the prophet Elisha on his way from Jericho up to Bethel is hauntingly brief: approached by some little boys from the city who jeer at him, chanting 'Go up, you baldhead' (v. 23b), he turns, sees them, curses them in Yahweh's name, and two shebears emerge from the woods and maul 42 of the boys ( v. 24b).
