Ah yes the she-bears.

2 Kings 2:23-24 23 From there Elisha went up to Bethel. As he was walking along the road, some youths came out of the town and jeered at him. "Go on up, you baldhead!" they said. "Go on up, you baldhead!" 24 He turned around, looked at them and called down a curse on them in the name of the LORD. Then two bears came out of the woods and mauled forty-two of the youths. |
Looking at the culture and tradtions of the time, the comment "Go on up, you baldhead!" based on many interpritations is a phyisical threat that would mean "You should die, you leper". Imagine 42 guys surrounded you and threatened your death?
