2 Chronicles 25:2-4
Good News Translation
2 He did what was pleasing to the Lord, but did it reluctantly. 3 As soon as he was firmly in power, he executed the officials who had murdered his father. 4 (A)He did not, however, execute their children, but followed what the Lord had commanded in the Law of Moses: “Parents are not to be put to death for crimes committed by their children, and children are not to be put to death for crimes committed by their parents; people are to be put to death only for crimes they themselves have committed.”

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)
