2 Chronicles 25:1-4 ▼

1 Amaziah (YHWH is mighty) was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem (city of peace) twenty-nine years. His mother’s name was Jehoaddan (YHWH delights); she was from Jerusalem.

2 And he did what was right in the eyes of the LORD {YHWH}, but not wholeheartedly.

3 As soon as the kingdom was firmly in his grasp, Amaziah executed the servants who had murdered his father the king.

4 Yet he did not put their sons to death, but acted according to what is written in the Law, in the Book of Moses (drawn out), where the LORD {YHWH} commanded: “Fathers must not be put to death for their children, and children must not be put to death for their fathers; each is to die for his own sin .”
