Amaziah was 25 years old when he became king and reigned 29 years in Jerusalem.

When he had the affairs of the kingdom well in hand, he executed the palace guard who had assassinated his father the king.

But he didn’t kill the
sons of the assassins – he was mindful of what God commanded in The
Revelation of Moses
, that parents shouldn’t be executed for their
childrens’ sins, nor children for their parents’. We each pay
personally for our sins.

~ II Chronicles 25:1a,3-4, The Message translation
