Elisha Succeeds Elijah
15
Now when 1the sons of the prophets who were at Jericho saw him opposite them, they said, "The spirit of Elijah rests on Elisha." And they came to meet him and bowed to the ground before him.
16
And they said to him, "Behold now, there are with your servants fifty strong men. Please let them go and seek your master. It may be that 2the Spirit of the LORD has caught him up and cast him upon some mountain or into some valley." And he said, "You shall not send."
17
But when they urged him 3till he was ashamed, he said, "Send." They sent therefore fifty men. And for three days they sought him but did not find him.
18
And they came back to him while he was staying at Jericho, and he said to them, "Did I not say to you, 'Do not go'?"
19
Now the men of the city said to Elisha, "Behold, the situation of this city is pleasant, as my lord sees, but the water is bad, and the land is unfruitful."
20
He said, "Bring me a new bowl, and put salt in it." So they brought it to him.
21
Then he went to the spring of water and 4threw salt in it and said, "Thus says the LORD, I have healed this water; from now on neither death nor miscarriage shall come from it."
22
So the water has been healed to this day, according to the word that Elisha spoke.
23
He went up from there to Bethel, and while he was going up on the way, some small boys came out of the city and jeered at him, saying, "Go up, you baldhead! Go up, you baldhead!"
24
And he turned around, and when he saw them, 5he cursed them in the name of the LORD. And two she-bears came out of the woods and tore forty-two of the boys.
