2 Chronicles 25:1-4 ▼

1 Amaziah was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned for twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. His mother was Jehoaddan, who was from Jerusalem.

2 He did what the LORD approved, but not with wholehearted devotion.

3 When he had secured control of the kingdom, he executed the servants who had assassinated his father.

4 However, he did not execute their sons. He obeyed the LORD's commandment as recorded in the law scroll of Moses, |Fathers must not be executed for what their sons do, and sons must not be executed for what their fathers do. A man must be executed only for his own sin.|
