2 Kings 14:6-8
Contemporary English Version
6 (A) But the children of those officers were not killed. The Lord had commanded in the Law of Moses that only the people who sinned were to be punished, not their parents or children.[a]

8 One day, Amaziah sent a message to King Jehoash of Israel: “Come out and face me in battle!”
