2 Kings 2:25 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 2:25

And he went from thence to Mount Carmel
Where Elijah used to frequent, and where also there might be a school of the prophets; this, according to Bunting ^F1, was fifty six miles from Bethel:

and from thence he returned to Samaria;
the capital of the kingdom of Israel; there to bear his testimony against idolatry, to reprove for it, and reclaim from it; this, as the same writer says ^F2, was thirty two miles from Carmel.

23 From there Elisha went up to Bethel. As he was walking up the path, some small boys came out of the city and harassed him, chanting, "Go up, baldy! Go up, baldy!"

24 He turned around, looked at them, and cursed them in the name of the Lord. Then two female bears came out of the woods and mauled 42 of the youths.

25 From there Elisha went to Mount Carmel, and then he returned to Samaria.
