JPS_ASV_Byz(i)
1 Amaziah was twenty and five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty and nine years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Jehoaddan of Jerusalem.
2 And he did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD, but not with a whole heart.
3 Now it came to pass, when the kingdom was established unto him, that he slew his servants who had killed the king his father.
4 But he put not their children to death, but did according to that which is written in the law in the book of Moses, as the LORD commanded, saying: 'The fathers shall not die for the children, neither shall the children die for the fathers; but every man shall die for his own sin.'
