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.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

So the waters were healed unto this day, according to the saying of Elisha which he spake. In the name of the Lord; and not only they remained so unto the time of the writer of this history, but to the times of Josephus, as he testifies s, and even to ours; for there is a spring now called Elisha's spring or fountain, of which Mr. Maundrell says t,

"its waters are at present received in a basin about nine or ten paces long, and five or six broad; and from thence issuing out in good plenty, divide themselves into several small streams, dispersing their refreshment to all the field between this and Jericho, and rendering it exceeding fruitful.''

So some other travellers u say of it, that the water is very clear and cool, and issues in a copious steam. Pliny w gives it the name of "Calirroe", the beautiful stream, and speaks of it as hot, wholesome, and medicinal, and of great note.
