2 Kings 2
23And 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.
24And 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.
I think he did what we all would do in a similar situation. This story also goes to show that the LORD looks out for his own.
I don't know how many times I have walked around our once Godly mall here in Abilene and seen groups of vagrant kids. I'm always prayin'. I hope He will show His favor on this lowly servant in some such way.
