2 Kings

The usual reprehensible and risible stuff, and 2 more resurrections (4 so far), but there were a couple of particular zingers.

I like this:

18:27 But Rabshakeh said unto them, Hath my master sent me to thy master, and to thee, to speak these words? hath he not sent me to the men which sit on the wall, that they may eat their own dung, and drink their own piss with you?

Nice!

And this brief yet thrilling tale is possibly my favourite bit of the Bibble so far, largely due to my sensitivity re hair loss issues:

2:23 And he (Elisha) went up from thence unto Bethel: and as he was going up by the way, there came forth little children out of the city, and mocked him, and said unto him, Go up, thou bald head; go up, thou bald head.
2:24 And he turned back, and looked on them, and cursed them in the name of the LORD. And there came forth two she bears out of the wood, and tare forty and two children of them.

42 kids ripped to shreds in return for a bit of gentle teasing! Way to look after bald blokes, oh wise and loving one.
