<p> That bears were common in [[Palestine]] appears from several passages in the [[Old]] Testament, 1 [[Samuel]] 17:34,36,37; 2 Samuel 17:8; 2 Kings 2:24 . The species known in [[Syria]] resembles the common brown bear; it is sill met in the recesses of Lebanon. To a sullen and ferocious disposition, the bear joins immense strength, considerable sagacity, and the power of climbing trees. Her ferocity, especially when her young are injured, is proverbial. [[See]] 2 Samuel 17:8; Proverbs 17:12; [[Isaiah]] 11:7; [[Hosea]] 13:8 . </p> | <p> That bears were common in [[Palestine]] appears from several passages in the [[Old]] Testament, 1 [[Samuel]] 17:34,36,37; 2 Samuel 17:8; 2 Kings 2:24 .
