2 Kings 14:7 - Forerunner Commentary

2 Kings 14:7

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.

8 ^aThen Amaziah sent messengers to Jehoash the son of Jehoahaz, the son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, “Come, let us face one another in battle.”

9 And Jehoash king of Israel sent to Amaziah king of Judah, saying, ^a“The thistle that was in Lebanon sent to the ^bcedar that was in Lebanon, saying, ‘Give your daughter to my son as wife’; and a wild beast that was in Lebanon passed by and trampled the thistle.
