14 In the second year of Je·hoʹash+ the son of Je·hoʹa·haz the king of Israel, Am·a·ziʹah the son of King Je·hoʹash of Judah became king. 2 He was 25 years old when he became king, and he reigned for 29 years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Je·ho·adʹdin of Jerusalem.+ 3 He continued to do what was right in Jehovah’s eyes, but not like David+ his forefather. He did everything as Je·hoʹash his father had done.+ 4 However, the high places were not removed,+ and the people were still sacrificing and making sacrificial smoke on the high places.+ 5 As soon as he had the kingdom firmly in his control, he struck down his servants who had struck down his father the king.+ 6 But he did not put the sons of the murderers to death, in harmony with Jehovah’s commandment written in the book of Moses’ Law: “Fathers should not be put to death for their sons, and sons should not be put to death for their fathers; but each one should be put to death for his own sin.”+
