2 Kings 14:4-6

The Voice

⁴ But the high places were not destroyed. They remained standing, and everyone continued to offer sacrifices and burn incense there.

⁵ As soon as Amaziah inherited the throne, he crushed all the servants who participated in the assassination of his father, King Joash. ⁶ But he left the sons of the murderers alive because of the Eternal’s command written in Moses’ book of laws, “Fathers should not be killed because of the sins of their sons, and sons should not be killed because of the sins of their fathers. Every man is to be held accountable for his own sins.”^[a]
