2 Kings 14:4-6

New Catholic Bible

⁴ He did not eliminate the high places, and the people continued to sacrifice and burn incense upon the high places.

⁵ As soon as the kingdom was firmly in his hands, he killed the servants of his father, the king. ⁶ He did not put to death the sons of the murderers for it is written in the book of the law of Moses, “You shall not put the fathers to death on account of the sons, nor shall you put to death the sons on account of the fathers. Each man is to be put to death for his own sins.”^[a]
