2 Chronicles 25:1-4

Amaziah Reigns over Judah

^aAmaziah was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name was Jehoaddan of Jerusalem. 2 And he did what was right in the sight of Yahweh, ^ayet not with a whole heart. 3 Now ^ait happened as soon as the kingdom was ¹strong in his grasp, that he killed his servants who had struck down the king his father. 4 But he did not put their sons to death, but did as it is written in the law in the book of Moses, which Yahweh commanded, saying, “^aFathers shall not be put to death for their sons, nor sons be put to death for their fathers, but each shall be put to death for his own sin.”
