2 Kings 2:23

As Beth-el was the older seat of the calf-worship I Kings 12:32-33; 13:1-32, a prophet of Yahweh was not unlikely to meet with insult there.

By the way - i. e. "by the usual road," probably that which winds up the Wady Suweinit, under hills even now retaining some trees, and in Elisha' s time covered with a dense forest, the haunt of savage animals. Compare I Kings 13:24; and for the general prevalence of beasts of prey in the country, both earlier and later than this, see Judges 14:5; I Samuel 17:31; II Kings 17:25; Amos 5:19, etc.
