2 Chronicles 25:4 Context
2And hee did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, but not with a perfite heart. 3¶ Now it came to passe when the kingdome was established to him, that he slew his seruants, that had killed the king his father. 4But hee slewe not their children, but did as it is written in the Law in the booke of Moses, where the Lord commanded, saying, The fathers shall not die for the children, neither shall the children die for the fathers; but euery man shall die for his owne sinne. 5¶ Moreouer, Amaziah gathered Iudah together, and made them Captaines ouer thousands, and captaines ouer hundreds, according to the houses of their fathers, throughout all Iudah and Beniamin: And he numbred them from twentie yeeres olde and aboue, and found them three hundred thousand choice men, able to goe foorth to warre, that could handle speare and shield. 6Hee hired also an hundred thousand mightie men of valour, out of Israel, for an hundred talents of siluer.
