New Testament
2 Kings 14:1-6
Amaziah Son of Joash, King of Judah
141In the second year 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 ruled for twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Jehoaddin[] from Jerusalem. 3He did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, but not like his father David. He did everything his father Joash had done, 4but the high places were still not removed. The people were still offering sacrifices and burning incense at the high places.
5When the royal power was firmly in his hand, he killed his officials who had killed his father the king. 6But he did not put the sons of the assassins to death, in obedience to what is written in the Book of the Law of Moses, in which the Lord commanded, “Fathers are not to be put to death on account of their sons, and sons are not to be put to death on account of their fathers, but each person will die for his own sin.”[]
