17When they urged him until he was ashamed, he said, Send. They sent therefore fifty men; and they sought three days, but didn`t find him.
18They came back to him, while he stayed at Jericho; and he said to them, "Didn`t I tell you, `Don`t go?`"
19The men of the city said to Elisha, Behold, we pray you, the situation of this city is pleasant, as my lord sees: but the water is bad, and the land miscarries.
20He said, Bring me a new jar, and put salt therein. They brought it to him.
21He went forth to the spring of the waters, and cast salt therein, and said, Thus says Yahweh, I have healed these waters; there shall not be from there any more death or miscarrying.
22So the waters were healed to this day, according to the word of Elisha which he spoke.
23He went up from there to Bethel; and as he was going up by the way, there came forth young lads out of the city, and mocked him, and said to him, Go up, you baldy; go up, you baldhead.
