2 Chronicles 25:2-4
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
2 He did right in the Lord’s sight, but not with a perfect or blameless heart.
3 When his kingdom was firmly established, he slew his servants who had killed the king his father.
4 But he did not slay their children; he did as it is written in the Law, in the Book of Moses, where the Lord commanded, The fathers shall not die for the children, or the children die for the fathers; but every man shall die for his own sin.

2 Chronicles 25:2-4
New International Version
2 He did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, but not wholeheartedly.(A) 3 After the kingdom was firmly in his control, he executed the officials who had murdered his father the king. 4 Yet he did not put their children to death, but acted in accordance with what is written in the Law, in the Book of Moses,(B) where the Lord commanded: “Parents shall not be put to death for their children, nor children be put to death for their parents; each will die for their own sin.”[a](C)
