The reign of Amaziah
2 Chronicles 25:1-4
1Amaziah was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Jehoaddan of Jerusalem. 2He did what was right in the eyes of YHWH, only not with a whole heart. 3And it happened, as soon as the kingdom was firm upon him, that he killed his servants who had struck the king his father. 4But their sons he did not put to death, but acted according to what is written in the law, in the book of Moses, where YHWH commanded, saying, “Fathers shall not die for sons, and sons shall not die for fathers; but each shall die for his own sin.”
1In year two of Joash son of Jehoahaz, king of Israel, Amaziah son of Joash, king of Judah, became king. 2He was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Jehoaddan of Jerusalem. 3He did what was right in the eyes of YHWH, only not like David his father; he did according to all that Joash his father had done. 4Only the high places did not go away; the people were still sacrificing and burning incense on the high places. 5And it happened, as soon as the kingdom was firm in his hand, that he struck his servants who had struck the king his father. 6But the sons of those who struck him he did not put to death, according to what is written in the book of the law of Moses, which YHWH commanded, saying, “Fathers shall not be put to death for sons, and sons shall not be put to death for fathers; but each shall be put to death for his own sin.”
