Amaziah Reigns in Judah

2 Chronicles 25

¹ Amaziah _a was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Jehoaddan of Jerusalem. ² And he did what was right in the sight of the LORD, _b but not with a loyal heart. ³ _c Now it happened, as soon as the kingdom was established for him, that he executed his servants who had murdered his father the king. ⁴ However he did not execute their children, but did as it is written in the Law in the Book of Moses, where the LORD commanded, saying, _d "The fathers shall not be put to death for their children, nor shall the children be put to death for their fathers; but a person shall die for his own sin." ₁
