BRAGADAYJAH 1061
Elisha Healed the Waters
And the men of the city of Jericho came to Elisha and urged him to remain in that city, as it was a good place except that the earth was barren because the water the springs were dried up. And Elijah told them to fetch him a new water bottle and put some salt in it. And they did so. And Elisha went and poured the salt in the springs, and said “Thus saith the Lord, I have healed these waters. There shall no more be dearth or barren land.” So the waters were healed thereafter according to the word of Elisha which he spoke. And Elisha went up from Jericho going toward Bethel. And as he was on his way, there appeared little children out of the city and mocked him saying, “Go up you ball head, go up you ball head.” And he looked back upon them and cursed them in the name of the Lord; and there came forth two she-bears out of the woods and killed forty two of them. And Elisha went from there to Mount Carmel and from there he returned to Samaria. In the meantime Jehoram the son of Ahab had begun to reign over Israel in Samaria in the eighteenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and he reigned twelve years. And he did evil in the sight of the Lord, although not like his father and his mother; for he had put away the images of Baal; but nevertheless he adhered to the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat who had made Israel to sin.
