Bear:
a native of the mountain regions of Western Asia, frequently mentioned in Scripture. David defended his flocks against the attacks of a bear (1Sa 17:34-37). Bears came out of the wood and destroyed the children who mocked the prophet Elisha (2Ki 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 (2Sa 17:8; Pro 17:12; Hsa 13:8). In Daniel's vision of the four great monarchies, the Medo-Persian empire is represented by a bear (Dan 7:5).
The Blue Letter Bible ministry and the BLB Institute hold to the historical, conservative Christian faith, which includes a firm belief in the inerrancy of Scripture. Since the text and audio content provided by BLB represent a range of evangelical traditions, all of the ideas and principles conveyed in the resource materials are not necessarily affirmed, in total, by this ministry.
