Mais il ne fit point mourir leurs enfants, se conformant à ce qui est écrit au livre de la loi de Moïse, où l'Éternel a donné ce commandement: On ne fera point mourir les pères pour les enfants, et on ne fera point mourir les enfants pour les pères; mais on fera mourir chacun pour son péché.
Mais il ne fit pas mourir les fils des meurtriers, selon ce qui est écrit dans le livre de la loi de Moïse, où l'Eternel donne ce commandement: On ne fera point mourir les pères pour les enfants, et l'on ne fera point mourir les enfants pour les pères; mais on fera mourir chacun pour son péché.
Mais il ne fit point mourir les enfants de ceux qui l'avaient tué; suivant ce qui est écrit au Livre de la Loi de Moïse, dans lequel l'Eternel a commandé, en disant : On ne fera point mourir les pères pour les enfants, on ne fera pas non plus mourir les enfants pour les pères; mais on fera mourir chacun pour son péché.

The fathers: Deuteronomy 24:16, Ezekiel 18:4, Ezekiel 18:20
Reciprocal: Joshua 8:31 - as it is 2 Chronicles 25:4 - as it is written Daniel 6:24 - their children
Gill's Notes on the Bible
But the children of the murderers he slew not,.... 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, &c. to which command Amaziah was obedient.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The children of the murderers he slew not - This seems to be noted as a rare instance of clemency (compare 2 Kings 9:26 note). It is strange at first sight, that, when the Law contained so very plain a prohibition (marginal references), the contrary practice should have established itself. But we must remember, first, that the custom was that of the East generally (see Daniel 6:24); and secondly, that it had the sanction of one who might be thought to have known thoroughly the mind of the legislator, namely, Joshua (see Joshua 7:24-25).
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 2 Kings 14:6. 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 24:16.
