The New Testament, of course.

The Septuagint in the New Testament

I haven't looked into it closely yet, but I believe both Josephus and Philo used the LXX.

Was that what you were looking for or did you mean further back?

Perhaps 2 Kings 2:23-24?

NRSV: "He went up from there to Bethel; and while he was going up on the way, some small boys came out of the city and jeered at him, saying, 'Go away, baldhead! Go away, baldhead!' When he turned around and saw them, he cursed them in the name of the LORD. Then two she-bears came out of the woods and mauled forty-two of the boys."

NIV: "From there Elisha went up to Bethel. As he was walking along the road, some youths came out of the town and jeered at him. 'Go on up, you baldhead!' they said. 'Go on up, you baldhead!' He turned around, looked at them and called down a curse on them in the name of the LORD. Then two bears came out of the woods and mauled forty-two of the youths."
