The bear is a powerful animal, and its presence in biblical narratives and imagery serves to convey messages of divine power, judgment, and protection. Biblical References: 1. <a href="/2_kings/2-23.htm">2 Kings 2:23-24</a>: One of the most notable accounts involving bears is the account of the prophet Elisha. As Elisha was traveling to Bethel, a group of youths mocked him, saying, "Go up, you baldhead!" In response, Elisha called down a curse in the name of the LORD, and two female bears came out of the woods and mauled forty-two of the youths. This incident underscores the seriousness of disrespecting God's prophets and serves as a warning against irreverence. 2. <a href="/1_samuel/17-34.htm">1 Samuel 17:34-37</a>: In this passage, David recounts his experience as a shepherd defending his flock from predators. He tells King Saul, "Your servant has killed both the lion and the bear; this uncircumcised Philistine will be like one of them, for he has defied the armies of the living God." David's triumph over the bear is a testament to his courage and faith in God's protection, foreshadowing his victory over Goliath. 3. <a href="/proverbs/28-15.htm">Proverbs 28:15</a>: The bear is used metaphorically to describe a wicked ruler: "Like a roaring lion or a charging bear is a wicked ruler over a helpless people." This comparison highlights the oppressive and destructive nature of unjust leadership, emphasizing the need for righteous governance. 4. <a href="/isaiah/11-7.htm">Isaiah 11:7</a>: In a prophetic vision of the Messianic age, Isaiah describes a time of peace and harmony in creation: "The cow will graze with the bear, their young will lie down together, and the lion will eat straw like the ox." Here, the bear symbolizes the transformation of natural enmity into peace, reflecting the restoration and reconciliation brought about by the Messiah. 5. <a href="/daniel/7-5.htm">Daniel 7:5</a>: In Daniel's vision of the four beasts, the second beast is described as resembling a bear. "And behold, another beast, a second one, resembling a bear. It was raised up on one side, and three ribs were in its mouth between its teeth; and thus they said to it, 'Arise, devour much flesh.'" This bear is often interpreted as representing the Medo-Persian Empire, known for its strength and conquests. Symbolism and Themes: · Strength and Ferocity: The bear's strength is a recurring theme, often used to illustrate the power of God or the might of empires. It serves as a reminder of the formidable forces that can be unleashed in the world, whether for protection or judgment. · Divine Judgment: The incident with Elisha and the bears highlights the theme of divine retribution. It serves as a cautionary tale about the consequences of mocking or opposing God's anointed. · Peace and Restoration: In prophetic literature, the bear is part of the imagery depicting the future peaceable kingdom, where natural predators coexist peacefully with their prey. This vision points to the ultimate reconciliation and harmony under God's reign. · Protection and Deliverance: David's encounter with the bear as a shepherd illustrates God's provision and protection for those who trust in Him. It is a testament to the faith and courage required to face formidable challenges. In summary, the bear in biblical literature is a multifaceted symbol, representing both the fearsome aspects of nature and the transformative power of God's kingdom. Its appearances in Scripture serve to convey messages of strength, judgment, and hope.<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div>Bear(<a href="/1_samuel/17-34.htm">1 Samuel 17:34</a>; <a href="/2_samuel/17-8.htm">2 Samuel 17:8</a>) The Syrian bear, Ursus syriacus, which is without doubt the animal mentioned in the Bible, is still found on the higher mountains of Palestine. During the summer months these bears keep to the snowy parts of Lebanon, but descend in winter to the villages and Gardens. It is probable also that at this period in former days they extended their visits to other parts of Palestine.<a name="saa" id="saa"></a><div class="vheading2">Scripture Alphabet Of Animals</div>BearDid you ever hear children say, "He is as cross as a bear?" I hope it will never be said of you, for nobody loves a child who is selfish and unkind, or who speaks cross and angry words. The bear is certainly a very cross animal; the name that was given to it in Bible times means a grumbler or growler. It does not even like other bears, excepting its own young ones, but chooses to live by itself in the gloomiest woods- often in a dark cave, or in the hollow part of some great old tree. When winter begins, it lies down to sleep, and does not wake up till warm weather comes again; then it creeps out of its retreat, lean and hungry enough-and cross enough, too. It is not a handsome animal; its hair is rough and almost as close as wool, and its limbs are thick and clumsy. It eats nuts, juicy leaves, and such fruits and berries as grow in the woods; it is fond of honey, and will climb the highest trees to reach it; and when it is very hungry, it will kill any animal that comes in its way and is not too strong for it to conquer.The bear loves its young ones more than almost any other animal does, as this little story will show you. A bear with two cubs or young ones once came over the ice near to a ship where the sailors had just killed a large animal. The bears were very hungry, and the sailors threw over some pieces of flesh for them; the old bear would tear them up, giving most of the meat to the cubs, and keeping but little for herself. Presently some one in the ship cruelly shot both the young ones-then their mother was full of sorrow. She had been hurt herself by the guns, but she crawled along to her cubs, put her paw upon them, and tried to have them get up; and when she found that they did not move, she went a few steps off, and then looked back with a sad, moaning noise, as though she expected them to get up and follow her. When she saw that all her efforts were useless, she walked around them several times, turned towards the vessel with a terrible growl-for she was angry enough to tear in pieces the men who had killed her young-and then lay down between her cubs and died. Does not his help you to understand this verse in <a href="/context/2_samuel/17.htm">2 Samuel 17</a>? "For thou knowest thy father and his men, that they are mighty men, and they are chafed in their minds, as a bear robbed of her whelps (or cubs) in the field;" -and this also, <a href="/hosea/13-8.htm">Hosea 13:8</a>, "I will meet them as a bear bereaved of her whelps." Such verses as these show that the writers of the Bible were acquainted with the habits of different animals: we never find any mistakes in what they say about them. Solomon says in his Proverbs, "As a roaring lion and a ranging bear, so is a wicked ruler over the poor people."You have often read or heard the sad story in the 2nd Kings, how forty-two children were killed at one time by two bears out of the wood. Do you understand why God allowed this? Elijah, a holy servant of God, had just been taken up to heaven in a bright chariot with horses of fire; and these rude and wicked children called out to Elisha, "Go up, thou bald head!"-that is, "Go up, as Elijah did, to heaven." This mockery would have been very wrong, even if Elisha had not been a holy prophet, for God has said, "Thou shalt rise up before the hoary head, and honor the face of the old man;" but the children were really dishonoring God in their treatment of his servant, and it was for this reason that He was so displeased with them.Do you remember what David said when he was trying to persuade king Saul to let him go and fight with the great giant Goliath? Saul thought he was too young, and by no means strong enough; but David said, "Thy servant was keeping his father's sheep, and there came a lion and a bear, and took a lamb out of the flock, and thy servant slew both the lion and the bear." He said also, "The Lord that delivered me out of the paw of the lion and out of the paw of the bear, he will deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine." You see why David was not afraid to meet the giant. It was not because he felt strong of himself, but he believed that God would be near to help him; and it was the same feeling that led him to say afterwards, "Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for Thou art with me." Happy will it be for you, dear child, if you can say the same words, with peace in your heart, when you lie down to die. <a name="amt" id="amt"></a><div class="vheading2">ATS Bible Dictionary</div>BearThat bears were common in Palestine appears from several passages in the Old Testament, <a href="/context/1_samuel/17-34.htm">1 Samuel 17:34</a>,36,37; <a href="/2_samuel/17-8.htm">2 Samuel 17:8</a>; <a href="/2_kings/2-24.htm">2 Kings 2:24</a>. The species known in Syria resembles the common brown bear; it is sill met in the recesses of Lebanon. To a sullen and ferocious disposition, the bear joins immense strength, considerable sagacity, and the power of climbing trees. Her ferocity, especially when her young are injured, is proverbial.

In <a href="/2_kings/2-24.htm">2 Kings 2:24</a> it is related that two she bears came out of the wood and tore forty-two of the children who had been mocking Elisha.

The Syrian bear, sometimes named as a distinct species, Ursus Syriacus, is better to be regarded as merely a local variety of the European and Asiatic brown bear, Ursus arctos. It still exists in small numbers in Lebanon and is fairly common in Anti-Lebanon and Hermon. It does not seem to occur now in Palestine proper, but may well have done so in Bible times. It inhabits caves in the high and rugged mountains and issues mainly at night to feed on roots and vegetables. It is fond of the chummuc or chick-pea which is sometimes planted in the upland meadows, and the fields have to be well guarded. The figurative re ferences to the bear take account of its ferocious nature, especially in the case of the she bear robbed of her whelps (<a href="/2_samuel/17-8.htm">2 Samuel 17:8</a> <a href="/proverbs/17-12.htm">Proverbs 17:12</a> <a href="/hosea/13-8.htm">Hosea 13:8</a>).
