Tetapi anak-anak para pembunuh itu tidak dihukum mati olehnya, seperti yang tertulis dalam kitab Taurat Musa, di mana TUHAN telah memberi perintah: "Janganlah ayah dihukum mati karena anaknya, janganlah juga anak dihukum mati karena ayahnya, melainkan setiap orang harus dihukum mati karena dosanya sendiri."

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.
