17 And when they urged him till he was ashamed, he said, Send them. They sent therefore fifty men; and they sought three days, but found him not.
18 And when they came again to him, (for he tarried at Jericho,) he said unto them, Did I not say unto you, Go not?
19 And the men of the city said unto Elisha, Behold, I pray you, the situation of this city is pleasant, as my lord sees: but the water is bad, and the ground barren.

21 And he went forth unto the spring of the waters, and cast the salt in there, and said, Thus says the LORD,
22 So the waters were healed unto this day, according to the saying of Elisha which he spoke.
23 And he went up from there unto Beth-el: and as he was going up by the way, there came forth youths out of the city, and mocked him, and said unto him, Go up, you bald head; go up, you bald head.
