Prophet Elisha

After seeing Elijah taken into heaven, the Prophet Elisha took up the mantle and went back to Jordan. When he smote the river with the mantle, the waters parted, and Elisha went over on dry ground. Elisha stayed a little time at Jericho The water there was very bad and the ground was barren. The people of the place came to Elisha and told him this. Elisha asked them to bring a cruse of salt and he went to the spring of the waters and threw the salt inside. He prayed to God and the waters were healed.

Elisha then went away from Jericho to go to Bethel. There were a great many little children at Bethel. These were children who had been taught to worship idols and to despise God and His prophets. When the children saw Elisha coming they began to mock him and and make fun of his bald head. Elisha heard what they said, and looked upon them gravely to warn them of their sin of despising one of God's servants. Elisha cursed the children in the name of the Lord because they were dishonoring God by dishonoring Elisha. So God sent two bears out of the wood and they tore the forty-two children to pieces.
