2 Kings 14:1-6 ▼

1 In the second year of Joash son of Jehoahaz, king of Israel, Amaziah son of Joash, king of Judah, has reigned;

2 he was a son of twenty-five years in his reigning, and he has reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Jehoaddan of Jerusalem,

3 and he does that which [is] right in the eyes of YHWH, only not like his father David; he has done according to all that his father Joash did,

4 only, the high places have not been removed—the people are still sacrificing and making incense in high places.

5 And it comes to pass, when the kingdom has been strong in his hand, that he strikes his servants, those striking his father the king,

6 and the sons of those striking [him] he has not put to death, as it is written in the Scroll of the Law of Moses that YHWH commanded, saying, “Fathers are not put to death for sons, and sons are not put to death for fathers, but each is put to death for his own sin.”
