God didn't command people to kill others very often. It was a special decree to accomplish a specific purpose. It also didn't mean that God's chosen people could kill whoever they wanted to for any reason as if they had special permission. God gave the people His law and set boundaries in regards to what they could and couldn't morally do. Murder wasn't something that people were (or are) allowed to do.
Aka subjective morality

For one thing, the bear that mauls the children was spurred on by a supernatural force (God); Elisha had no natural control over bears or lions or anything else.
For another, and as I mentioned previously, God has the authority to destroy any law breaker He sees fit. We all die as the consequence of sin, it's just a matter of How God wants to accomplish it. God punished the wicked children who mocked His prophet whom He commissioned to proclaim the truth. The office held high honor and wasn't deserving of such ridicule. God was the one who punished the sinners and that doesn't mean His law is subjective. We all deserve the same fate or worse for our sins against God. We're all held to the same objective standard.
