How do we know the event of the bears is true?

Answered in 1 source

The event is recorded in the Bible, which has been historically validated and stands as God's authoritative word.

The truth of the event where Elisha is mocked and curses the children, leading to their mauling by bears, is grounded in biblical scripture. The historical accounts contained in the Old Testament are considered by believers to be divinely inspired and authoritative. As stated in 2 Timothy 3:16, 'All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness.' This infallibility lends credence to miraculous events, reminding believers of God's sovereign power over creation and His capacity to enact judgment. Critics may question the narrative, but faithful adherence to Scripture upholds the reliability of God's word and His actions throughout history.
