Elisha was bald. Very bald.

In 2 Kings 2, the youth noticed - and mocked him for it.

How did Elisha respond?

Well, not in a way that you might expect.

He cursed the youth - and two bears came out to maul them.

So, what's the deal with that? For some, it seems like an overreaction.

Other Questions That We'll Answer:

A) What was so sinful about the youth's actions?

B) Why was Elisha justified in his response?

C) What do these events tell us about God?

Speaker: Rev. Dr. Toby Holt
