Amaziah’s Reign over Judah
14:1 In the second year of the reign of Israel’s King Joash son of Joahaz , Joash’s son Amaziah became king over Judah .
14:2 He was twenty-five years old when he began to reign , and he reigned for twenty-nine years in Jerusalem . His mother was Jehoaddan , who was from Jerusalem .
14:3 He did what the Lord approved , but not like David his father . He followed the example of his father Joash .
14:4 But the high places were not eliminated ; the people continued to offer sacrifices and burn incense on the high places .
14:5 When he had secured control of the kingdom , he executed the servants who had assassinated his father .
14:6 But he did not execute the sons of the assassins . He obeyed the Lord’s commandment as recorded in the law scroll of Moses , “Fathers must not be put to death for what their sons do, and sons must not be put to death for what their fathers do. A man must be put to death only for his own sin .”
14:7 He defeated 10,000 Edomites in the Salt Valley ; he captured Sela in battle and renamed it Joktheel , a name it has retained to this very day .
