Elisha and the Bear

.
"From there Elisha went up to Bethel. As he was walking along the road, some youths came out of the town and jeered at him. "Go on up, you baldhead!" they said. "Go on up, you baldhead!" He turned around, looked at them and called down a curse on them in the name of the LORD. Then two bears came out of the woods and mauled forty-two of the youths. And he went on to Mount Carmel and from there returned to Samaria."

He cursed them, as you might, and at that moment two bears came out of the woods and mauled forty-two of the children.

What's your problem when a group of youths cause a disturbance. With that number of people it would have been quite a disturbance. The bears will have been frightened and what do wild animals do when they are frightened? They turn on you. Don't you watch any wild life programs? You are reading something into it that isn't there.
