don't diss the bald guy

This passage in 2 Kings I thought was funny. The naughty kids in Bethel tried to make fun of Elisha as he passed through...

2 Kings 2:23-24 And he went up from thence unto Bethel: and as he was going up by the way, there came forth little children out of the city, and mocked him, and said unto him, Go up, thou bald head; go up, thou bald head. And he turned back, and looked on them, and cursed them in the name of the LORD. And there came forth two she bears out of the wood, and tare forty and two children of them.

And then got ripped up by some angry Mama bears... Moral of the story. Don't call people names. Sticks and stones may break my bones, but names will cause a bear to rip you up!
