Who Called Me Baldy

About the design

What happens in this passage?

👨‍🦲 Elisha has just taken over Elijah's role as a prophet of Israel. As he travels from Jericho to Bethel, a group of young boys (often translated as "youths") comes out of the city and begins mocking him. They taunt him, saying, "Get out of here, baldy! Get out of here, baldy!"

🐻 Elisha, being a prophet of God, is not pleased with this disrespectful behavior. He turns around, looks at the boys, and curses them in the name of the Lord. As a consequence of their mockery, two she-bears come out of the woods and maul forty-two of the boys. 👦
