2 Kings 14:4 Context
2Hee was twentie and fiue yeeres olde when he began to reigne, and reigned twentie and nine yeeres in Ierusalem: and his mothers name was Iehoaddan of Ierusalem. 3And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, yet not like Dauid his father: hee did according to all things as Ioash his father did. 4Howbeit, the high places were not taken away: as yet the people did sacrifice, and burnt incense on the high places. 5¶ And it came to passe assoone as the kingdome was confirmed in his hand, that he slew his seruants which had slaine the king his father. 6But the children of the murderers he slew not, according vnto that which is written in the booke of the Law of Moses, wherein the Lord commanded, saying, The fathers shal not be put to death for the children, nor the children be put to death for the fathers: but euery man shall be put to death for his owne sinne.
