From there Elisha went up to Bethel. As he was walking along the road, some boys came out of the town and jeeredb at him. “Get out of here, baldy!” they said. “Get out of here, baldy!” He turned around, looked at them and called down a curse on them in the named of the Lord. Then two bears came out of the woods and mauled forty-two of the boys.

We have to remember, its a choice they made. I mean, they’re god. They can do anything right? God could’ve just teleported the Israelites away.

He could’ve made flaming rail infrastructure and run a flaming railway service for the Israelites to leave on.
“No, I told you already. Its child murder or nothing, Moses.”

God really hates children.
From what I’ve read, which admittedly isn’t much, he seems to hold entire families to account for the actions of their worst members.
Often that means killing/maiming/punishing children of jerks and profiteering gluttons.
