young boys <06996 05288> [little children.]

The words {n‰ƒrim ketannim} not only signify little children but young men; for {katon} signifies not only little, but young, in opposition to old; and {n„ƒr} signifies not only a child, but a young man grown to years of maturity: thus Isaac is called {n„ƒr} when twenty-eight years old, Joseph when thirty-nine, and Rehoboam when forty. These idolatrous young men, having heard of the ascension of Elijah, without believing it, blasphemously bade Elisha to follow him. The venerable prophet, from a Divine impulse, pronounced a curse "in the name of the Lord," which was immediately followed by the most terrible judgment; thus evincing the Source from which it flowed.
