1. Amaziah was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Jehoaddan, of Jerusalem.
2. He did that which was right in the Lord’s eyes, but not with a perfect heart.
3. Now when the kingdom was established to him, he killed his servants who had killed his father the king.
4. But he didn’t put their children to death, but did according to that which is written in the Torah 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.”
