bears eating children2 Kings 2:23-24 And he 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 baldhead. 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.Biblia pauperum, Netherlands ca. 1395-1400.British Library, Kings MS 5, fol. 15r -- source link
