2 Kings 2:24 in context

2 Kings 2:23      2 Kings 2:25

Second Kings 2:24

Elisha turned around, looked at them, and cursed them in the name of the Lord (Yahweh). Then two female bears came out of the forest and mauled 42 of the young men.[The text does not say whether they were only injured or torn to pieces, but in Hos. 13:8 the same word (Hebr. baqa) is used for tearing apart and killing. Considering that a specific number is mentioned, it is most likely that these 42 young men from the mob were seriously injured or killed.]
