2 Chronicles 25:1-4

Amaziah Reigns in Judah

1 ^aAmaziah was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Jehoaddan of Jerusalem. 2 And he did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, ^byet not with a whole heart. 3 And as soon as the royal power was firmly his, he killed his servants who had struck down the king his father. 4 But he did not put their children to death, according to what is written in the Law, in the Book of Moses, where the Lord commanded, ^c“Fathers shall not die because of their children, nor children die because of their fathers, but each one shall die for his own sin.”
