2 Kings 14:1-6
Amaziah Reigns over Judah
1 aIn the second year of Joash son of Joahaz king of Israel, bAmaziah the son of Joash king of Judah became king. 2He was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned for twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name was Jehoaddin of Jerusalem. 3He did what was right in the sight of the Lord, yet not like his father David; he acted in accordance with everything that his father Joash had done. 4Only cthe high places were not eliminated; dthe people still sacrificed and burned incense on the high places. 5Now it came about, as soon as the kingdom was firmly in his hand, that he ▼▼Lit struck
,
fkilled his servants who had ▼▼Lit struck
killed the king, his father. 6But he did not put the sons of ▼▼Lit those who struck
the murderers to death, in ▼▼Lit accordance with what
obedience to what is written in the Book of the Law of Moses, as the Lord commanded, saying, “ jThe fathers shall not be put to death for the sons, nor the sons be put to death for the fathers; but keach shall be put to death for his own sin.”
