Things aren't always what they seem at first glance, especially in a translation. Rashi has this to say about verse 23: "and some little boys: Heb. וּנְעָרִים, people empty [of any observance of commandments]. Go away, baldy: Go away from here, for you have made the place bald for us, for until now we would hire ourselves out to bring sweet water from a distance, and we would earn our livelihood thereby. And when the water became sweet, they lost their livelihood. Thus it is explained in Sotah (46b)" Hebrew has many more nuances and meanings than English, and so many things escape in a translation. The phrase translated as "youths" can also be rendered "young men" and the word translated as "go up" can also be translated as "pay up", so maybe this was a shakedown. Just some things for thought.

Have some damn respect for those called by God or else watch out.
Have some damn respect for slapheads, or God will make you suffer.
