23 Now he went up from there to Bethel; and as he was going up by the road, some young boys came out from the city and (A)ridiculed him and said to him, “Go up, you baldhead; go up, you baldhead!” 24 When he looked behind him and saw them, he (B)cursed them in the name of the Lord. Then two female bears came out of the woods and tore up forty-two [a]of the boys. 25 He then went on from there to (C)Mount Carmel, and from there he returned to Samaria.
