In context
1 Amaziah was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he was ruling in Jerusalem for twenty-nine years; his mother's name was Jehoaddan of Jerusalem.
2 He did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, but his heart was not completely true to the Lord.
3 Now when he became strong in the kingdom, he put to death those men who had taken the life of the king his father.
4 But he did not put their children to death, for he kept the orders of the Lord recorded in the book of the law of Moses, saying, The fathers are not to be put to death for their children or the children for their fathers, but a man is to be put to death for the sin which he himself has done.
