2 Chronicles 25:2-4
1599 Geneva Bible
2 And he did [a]uprightly in the eyes of the Lord, but not with a perfect heart.
3 And when the kingdom was established unto him, he slew his servants, that had slain the king his father.
4 But he slew not their children, but did as it is written in the Law, and in the book of Moses, where the Lord commanded, saying, (A)The fathers shall not die for the [b]children, neither shall the children die for the fathers, but every man shall die for his own sin.
