"Bald" in the Bible: 2 Kings 2:23-24


This story is grim, but shows the kind of power that was entrusted to Elisha. While he was on the road a number of youth came up to him and started to poke fun of him for being bald. Elisha then cursed them in the name of the LORD and a bear came out and mauled 42 of the youths.

“If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.”
