2 Chronicles 25:2-4
New English Translation

2 He did what the Lord approved,[a] but not with wholehearted devotion.[b]

3 When he had secured control of the kingdom,[c] he executed the servants who had assassinated his father the king. 4 However, he did not execute their sons. He obeyed the Lord’s commandment as recorded in the law scroll of Moses,[d] “Fathers must not be executed for what their sons do,[e] and sons must not be executed for what their fathers do.[f] A man must be executed only for his own sin.”[g]
