Contextual Overview

¹⁹ The people of the city said to Elisha, "Look, master, this city is a nice place to live as you can see. But the water is so bad the land cannot grow crops." ²⁰ Elisha said, "Bring me a new bowl and put salt in it." So they brought it to him. ²¹ Then he went out to the spring and threw the salt in it. He said, "This is what the Lord says: ‘I have healed this water. From now on it won't cause death, and it won't keep the land from growing crops.'" ²² So the water has been healed to this day just as Elisha had said. ²³ From there Elisha went up to Bethel. On the way some boys came out of the city and made fun of him. They said to him, "Go up too, you baldhead! Go up too, you baldhead!" ²⁴ Elisha turned around, looked at them, and put a curse on them in the name of the Lord . Then two mother bears came out of the woods and tore forty-two of the boys to pieces. ²⁵ Elisha went to Mount Carmel and from there he returned to Samaria.

Cross-References

Genesis 2:18
Then the Lord God said, "It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper who is right for him."

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And he said, bring me a new cruse, and put salt therein,.... One that had never been used, that it might not be thought that the virtue was owing to anything that had been, or was, put into it:

and they brought it to him; the pot with the salt in it.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The “new cruse” and the “salt” are evidently chosen from a regard to symbolizm. The foul stream represents sin, and to cleanse it emblems of purity must he taken. Hence, the clean “new” dish previously unused, and thus untainted; and the salt, a common Scriptural symbol of incorruption (see Leviticus 2:13; Ezekiel 43:24; Matthew 5:13, etc.).
