2 Chronicles 25:4-6

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁴ But he did not put their children to death, because of what is written in the law in the Book of Moses, in which the Lord commanded, “Fathers are not to be put to death on account of their sons, and sons are not to be put to death on account of their fathers, but each person will die for his own sin.”^[a]

War Against Edom

⁵ Amaziah then assembled Judah. He organized the troops on the basis of their fathers’ houses, under commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds for all of Judah and Benjamin. He took a count of all of those who were twenty years old and older. He found three hundred thousand men capable of going to war, able to handle spear and shield.

⁶ He also hired from Israel one hundred thousand powerful warriors for one hundred talents of silver.
