But the children of the murderers he slew not: according unto that which is written in the book of the law of Moses, wherein the LORD commanded, saying, The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, nor the children be put to death for the fathers; but every man shall be put to death for his own sin.

Verse 6 is found in chapter 14 of 2 Kings. Amaziah begins to reign in Judah and receives a relatively favorable evaluation, although he does not remove the high places. The text highlights his obedience to the law by executing those responsible for his father’s death without killing the children of the guilty. He then defeats Edom and captures Sela. This section presents a king who acts according to a specific legal standard and achieves military success. Yet the evaluation remains incomplete because the cultic reform does not reach every level. The narrator maintains religious faithfulness as the principal criterion for evaluating government.
