2 Chronicles 25:4 meaning and explanation
Yet he did not put their sons to death, but acted according to what is written in the Law, in the Book of Moses, where the LORD commanded: “Fathers must not be put to death for their children, and children must not be put to death for their fathers; each is to die for his own sin.”
2 Chronicles 25:4, Berean Standard Bible
Explanation preview
Amaziah has just secured his throne in Judah and is executing the officials who murdered his father. Verse 4 pauses to note that he spared their sons, quoting the Law of Moses, likely Deuteronomy 24:16, which forbids putting a father to death for his children or children for their fathers.
