2 Kings 14:5-7

The Voice

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]

⁷ Amaziah crushed 10,000 Edomites while fighting in the valley of Salt, and he won Sela in battle and renamed it Joktheel. That name remains today.
