2 Chronicles 25:2-4
Legacy Standard Bible
2 And he did what was right in the sight of Yahweh, (A)yet not with a whole heart. 3 Now (B)it happened as soon as the kingdom was [a]strong in his grasp, that he killed his servants who had struck down the king his father. 4 But he did not put their sons to death, but did as it is written in the law in the book of Moses, which Yahweh commanded, saying, “(C)Fathers shall not be put to death for their sons, nor sons be put to death for their fathers, but each shall be put to death for his own sin.”

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)
