SEV Biblia, Chapter 14:6
Mas no mató a los hijos de los que le mataron, conforme a lo que está escrito en el libro de la ley de Moisés, donde el SEÑOR mandó, diciendo: No matarán a los padres por los hijos, ni a los hijos por los padres; mas cada uno morirá por su pecado.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 2 Kings 14:6
Verse 6. But the children of the murderers he slew not] Here he showed his conscientious regard for the law of Moses; for God had positively said, The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, neither shall the children be put to death for the fathers: every man shall be put to death for his own sin, Deuteronomy xxiv. 16.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 6. But the children of the murderers he slew not , etc.] Which is an instance of his clemency and goodness, and of his strict regard to justice, and to the law of God; though he might fear, these, being spared, would one time or other revenge their fathers’ deaths; according to that which is written in the book of the law of Moses , (see Deuteronomy 24:16), wherein the Lord commanded, saying, the fathers shall not be put to death for the children, nor the children , etc. to which command Amaziah was obedient.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-7 - Amaziah began well, but did not go on so. It is not enough to do tha which our pious predecessors did, merely to keep up the common usage but we must do it as they did, from the same principle of faith an devotion, and with the same sincerity and resolution.
