2 Kings 14:5-7

Common English Bible

⁵ Once he had secured control over his kingdom, he executed the officials who had assassinated his father the king. ⁶ However, he didn’t kill the children of the murderers, because of what is written in the Instruction scroll from Moses, where the Lord commanded, Parents shouldn’t be executed because of what their children have done; neither should children be executed because of what their parents have done. Each person should be executed for their own guilty acts.^[a]

⁷ Next Amaziah struck down ten thousand Edomites in the Salt Valley and captured Sela in battle. He renamed it Jokthe-el, which is what it is still called today.
