2 Kings 2:23 an itinerant monk named Elisha is verbally abused by a group of children. The youths call him "baldy". Elisha does not turn the other cheek. He uses magical means to curse the kids and summons a pair of bears to his aid. Elisha mercilessly uses the bears to slay all 42 children present.

Did Elisha use magic to do evil? Was what Elisha did not evil and not magic because he did it for God? What do you think? A Best Answer will be chosen. Thank you!
