2 Kings 14:4-7
New International Version
4 The high places,(A) however, were not removed; the people continued to offer sacrifices and burn incense there.
5 After the kingdom was firmly in his grasp, he executed(B) the officials(C) who had murdered his father the king. 6 Yet he did not put the children of the assassins to death, in accordance with what is written in the Book of the Law(D) of Moses where the Lord commanded: “Parents are not to be put to death for their children, nor children put to death for their parents; each will die for their own sin.”[a](E)
7 He was the one who defeated ten thousand Edomites in the Valley of Salt(F) and captured Sela(G) in battle, calling it Joktheel, the name it has to this day.
