2 Kings 2:24

Context
2:24 When he turned around and saw them, he called God’s judgment down on them. 1  Two female bears came out of the woods and ripped forty-two of the boys to pieces.

2 Kings 10:14

Context
10:14 He said, “Capture them alive!” So they captured them alive and then executed all forty-two of them in the cistern at Beth Eked. He left no survivors.

1 tn Heb “he cursed them in the name of the Lord.” A curse was a formal appeal to a higher authority (here the Lord) to vindicate one’s cause through judgment. As in chapter one, this account makes it clear that disrespect for the Lord’s designated spokesmen can be deadly, for it is ultimately rejection of the Lord’s authority.
