2. Kongebok 14,6

Moses

4 Men offerhaugene ble ikke fjernet; folket fortsatte å ofre og brenne røkelse der.

5 Da riket var sikkert under hans kontroll, henrettet han tjenerne som hadde myrdet hans far, kongen.

Men han drepte ikke morderens barn, i samsvar med det som er skrevet i Mose lovbok, slik Herren befalte, og sa, “Fedre skal ikke dø for sønner, og sønner skal ikke dø for fedre; men hver skal dø for sin egen synd.”

7 Han beseiret ti tusen edomitter i Saltdalen, erobret Sela i kamp, og kalte den Jokteel, som den heter den dag i dag.

8 Så sendte Amasja budbringere til Joasj, sønn av Joahaz, sønn av Jehu, konge av Israel, og sa, “Kom, la oss møte hverandre i kamp.”
