And Things Of The Bible -- Bear
The bear is a native of the mountain regions of Western Asia,
frequently mentioned in Scripture. David defended his flocks against the
attacks of a bear (1 Sam. 17:34-37). Bears came out of the wood and
destroyed the children who mocked the prophet Elisha (2 Kings 2:24).
Their habits are referred to in Isa. 59:11; Prov. 28:15; Lam. 3:10. The
fury of the female bear when robbed of her young is spoken of (2 Sam.
17:8; Prov. 17:12; Hos. 13:8). In Daniel's vision of the four great
monarchies, the Medo-Persian Empire is represented by a bear (7:5).
