2 Kings 14:5 - Forerunner Commentary

2 Kings 14:5

3 And he did what was right in the sight of the Lord, yet not like his father David; he did everything ^aas his father Joash had done.

4 ^aHowever the¹ high places were not taken away, and the people still sacrificed and burned incense on the high places.

5 Now it happened, as soon as the kingdom was established in his hand, that he executed his servants ^awho had murdered his father the king.

6 But the children of the murderers he did not execute, according to what is written in the Book of the Law of Moses, in which the Lord commanded, saying, ^a“Fathers shall not be put to death for their children, nor shall children be put to death for their fathers; but a person shall be put to death for his own sin.”

7 ^aHe killed ten thousand Edomites in ^bthe Valley of Salt, and took Sela by war, ^cand called its name Joktheel to this day.
