My Note: Two she bears & forty and two youths Ref. Scripture 2 Kings 2:24
And there came forth two she bears out of the wood, and tare forty and two children of them.
Scripture: 2 Kings 2:24 And 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 tare forty and two children of them.
19 ¶And the men of the
city said unto Elisha, Behold, I pray thee, the situation of this city
is pleasant, as my lord seeth: but the water is naught, and the ground
barren.
20 And he said, Bring me
a new cruse, and put salt therein. And they brought it to him.
21 And he went forth unto
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 thence any
more death or barren land.
22 So the waters were healed
unto this day, according to the saying of Elisha which he spake.
23 And he went up from thence
unto Bethel: and as he was going up by the way, there came forth little
children out of the city, and mocked him, and said unto him, Go up, thou
bald head; go up, thou bald head.
24 And 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 tare forty and two
children of them.
25 And he went from thence
to mount Carmel, and from thence he returned to Samaria.
Seems harsh but that's what happened.
To study the Bible is the noblest of all pursuits;
to understand it, the highest of all goals.
We pray that with the guidance of the Holy
Spirit, you accomplish both.
