"In his day he was known as old Boozie"
Careful. Those Old Testament guys were pretty good at smiting folks. Heck, one Old Testament prophet, Elisha, called up a bunch of she-bears to tear some young boys limb from limb. Their crime? They taunted him with "Go up, bald one." They were referring, of course to Elijah, Elisha's mentor, who had been taken up into heaven in a cloud. But Old Elisha took serious offense to their taunts and cursed them. Boy, I'll bet those boys were surprised when the she-bears showed up and killed them. That'll teach children not to tease their elders, I bet.
Read all about it in II Kings. One of the good stories in the Old Testament. A cautionary tale with which to caution disobedient and insolent children. "Cut that nonsense out, you kids, or the she-bears'll getcha!" Bet you didn't learn that one in Sunday School.
And I didn't even know there were bears in that part of the world.
