So, I was reading along, and came to this…

2 Kings 2:23-24

Elisha left Jericho and went up to Bethel. As he was walking along the road, a group of boys from the town began mocking and making fun of him. “Go away, you baldhead!” they chanted. “Go away, you baldhead!” Elisha turned around and looked at them, and he cursed them in the name of the LORD. Then two bears came out of the woods and mauled forty-two of them.

WHAT!??!? Now I am a big fan of context, and let me tell you… there IS NO CONTEXT. Elisha is doing some miracles, helping some people, and we get this crazy story about him calling out bears to maul 42 kids! What?!?!?
