Elisha's Bears

yes; that is what seems to be not being recognized here. I pick at this because i don't understand--and i'm not convinced the commentaries help any here. There is usually a lesson at the bottom of these, if one can just get the right pov.

There was more happening then just a bunch of kids getting eaten by some bears for being rude.

They, along with the whole nation, were under the curse of the law for national disobedience, as the reference in Leviticus shows. Being attacked by wild animals was part and parcel of the promised punishment, since the blessing of God was off His people at the time the event occurred.
