But
Naaman was
wroth, and went away, and said, Behold, I thought, He will surely come out to me, and stand, and call on the name of the LORD
his God, and strike
his hand over the place, and recover the
leper.
But
Naaman went away
angry, saying, “I thought that he would surely come out, stand and call on the name of the LORD
his God, and wave
his hand over the spot to cure my
leprosy.
And
his servants came near, and spake unto him, and said, My father, if the prophet had
bid thee do some great thing, wouldest thou not have done it? how much rather then, when he saith to thee, Wash, and be clean?
Naaman’s servants, however, approached him and said, “My father, if the prophet had told you to do some great thing, would you not have done it? How much more, then, when he tells you, ‘Wash and be
cleansed’?”
Then went he down, and
dipped himself seven times in Jordan, according to the saying of the man of God: and
his flesh came again like unto the flesh of a little child, and he was clean.
So
Naaman went down and
dipped himself in the Jordan seven times, according to the word of the man of God, and
his flesh was restored and became like that of a little child, and he was clean.
And he returned to the man of God, he and all his company, and came, and stood before him: and he said, Behold, now I know that there is no God in all earth, but in Israel: now therefore, I pray thee, take a blessing of thy servant.
Then
Naaman and all
his attendants went back to the man of God, stood before him, and declared, “Now I know for sure that there is no God in all the earth except in Israel. So please accept a gift from your servant.”
But Gehazi, the servant of
Elisha the man of God, said, Behold, my master hath
spared Naaman this
Syrian, in not receiving at
his hands that which he brought: but, as the LORD liveth, I will run after him, and take somewhat of him.
Gehazi, the servant of
Elisha the man of God, said, “Look, my master has
spared this
Aramean,
Naaman, while not accepting what he brought. As surely as the LORD lives, I will run after him and get something from him.”
And
Naaman said, Be content, take two talents. And he urged him, and bound two talents of silver in two bags, with two changes of garments, and laid them upon two of
his servants; and they bare them before him.
But
Naaman insisted, “Please, take two talents.” And he urged Gehazi to accept them. Then he
tied up two talents of silver in two bags along with two sets of clothing and gave them to two of
his servants, who carried them
ahead of Gehazi.
But he went in, and stood before
his master. And
Elisha said unto him, Whence comest thou, Gehazi? And he said, Thy servant went no
whither.
When Gehazi went in and stood before
his master,
Elisha asked him, “Gehazi, where have you been?” “Your servant did not go
anywhere,” he replied.
And he said unto him, Went not mine heart with thee, when the man turned again from
his chariot to meet thee? Is it a time to receive money, and to receive garments, and oliveyards, and vineyards, and sheep, and oxen, and menservants, and maidservants?
But
Elisha questioned him, “Did not my spirit go with you when the man got down from
his chariot to meet you? Is this the time to accept money and clothing, olive groves and vineyards, sheep and oxen, menservants and maidservants?
The
leprosy therefore of
Naaman shall
cleave unto thee, and unto thy seed for ever. And he went out from
his presence a
leper as white as snow.
Therefore said he, Take it up to thee. And he put out his hand, and took it.
“Lift it out,” he said, and the man reached out his hand and took it.
Then the king of Syria
warred against Israel, and took counsel with
his servants, saying, In such and such a place shall be my camp.
Now the king of
Aram was at war against Israel. After
consulting with
his servants, he said, “My camp will be in such and such a place.”
And the king of Israel sent to the place which the man of God told him and
warned him of, and saved himself there, not once nor twice.
So the king of Israel sent word to the place the man of God had pointed out. Time and again
Elisha warned the king, so that he was on
his guard in such places.
Therefore the heart of the king of Syria was
sore troubled for this thing; and he called
his servants, and said unto them, Will ye not
shew me which of us is for the king of Israel?
For this reason the king of
Aram became
enraged and called
his servants to demand of them, “Tell me, which one of us is on the side of the king of Israel?”
And one of
his servants said, None, my lord, O king: but
Elisha, the prophet that is in Israel, telleth the king of Israel the words that thou speakest in thy
bedchamber.
But one of
his servants replied, “No one, my lord the king. For
Elisha, the prophet in Israel, tells the king of Israel the very words you speak in your
bedroom.”
And when the servant of the man of God was risen early, and gone forth, behold, an host compassed the city both with horses and
chariots. And
his servant said unto him,
Alas, my master! how shall we do?
When the servant of the man of God got up and went out early in the morning, an army with horses and
chariots had surrounded the city. So he asked
Elisha, “Oh, my master, what are we to do?”
And
Elisha prayed, and said, LORD, I pray thee, open
his eyes, that he may see. And the LORD opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and
chariots of fire round about
Elisha.
Then
Elisha prayed, “O LORD, please open
his eyes that he may see.” And the LORD opened the eyes of the young man, and he saw that the hills were full of horses and
chariots of fire all around
Elisha.
And it came to pass after this, that Ben-
hadad king of Syria gathered all
his host, and went up, and besieged Samaria.
Some time later, Ben-
hadad king of
Aram assembled
his entire army and marched up to
besiege Samaria.
And it came to pass, when the king heard the words of the woman, that he rent
his clothes; and he passed by upon the wall, and the people looked, and, behold, he had
sackcloth within upon
his flesh.
When the king heard the words of the woman, he
tore his clothes. And as he passed by on the wall, the people saw the
sackcloth under
his clothes next to
his skin.
Then he said, God do so and more also to me, if the head of
Elisha the son of Shaphat shall stand on him this day.
He
announced, “May God
punish me, and ever so severely, if the head of
Elisha son of Shaphat remains on
his shoulders through this day!”
But
Elisha sat in
his house, and the elders sat with him; and the king sent a man from before him: but
ere the
messenger came to him, he said to the elders, See ye how this son of a murderer hath sent to take away mine head? look, when the
messenger cometh, shut the door, and hold him fast at the door: is not the sound of
his master’s feet behind him?
Now
Elisha was sitting in
his house, and the elders were sitting with him. The king sent a
messenger ahead, but before he arrived,
Elisha said to the elders, “Do you see how this murderer has sent someone to cut off my head? Look, when the
messenger comes, shut the door to keep him out. Is not the sound of
his master’s footsteps behind him?”
And the king arose in the night, and said unto
his servants, I will now
shew you what the Syrians have done to us. They know that we be
hungry; therefore are they gone out of the camp to hide themselves in the field, saying, When they come out of the city, we shall catch them alive, and get into the city.
So the king got up in the night and said to
his servants, “Let me tell you what the Arameans have done to us. They know we are
starving, so they have left the camp to hide in the field, thinking, ‘When they come out of the city, we will take them alive and enter the city.’”
And one of his servants answered and said, Let some take, I pray thee, five of the horses that remain, which are left in the city, (behold, they are as all the multitude of Israel that are left in it: behold, I say, they are even as all the multitude of the Israelites that are consumed:) and let us send and see.
But one of
his servants replied, “Please, have scouts take five of the horses that remain in the city. Their
plight will be no worse than all the Israelites who are left here. You can see that all the Israelites here are
doomed. So let us send them and find out.”
Elisha fixed
his gaze steadily on him until
Hazael became uncomfortable. Then the man of God began to
weep.
So he departed from
Elisha, and came to
his master; who said to him, What said
Elisha to thee? And he answered, He told me that thou shouldest surely recover.
So
Hazael left
Elisha and went to
his master, who asked him, “What did
Elisha say to you?” And he replied, “He told me that you would surely recover.”
And it came to pass on the
morrow, that he took a thick cloth, and
dipped it in water, and spread it on
his face, so that he died: and
Hazael reigned in
his stead.
But the next day
Hazael took a thick cloth,
dipped it in water, and spread it over the king’s face. So Ben-
hadad died, and
Hazael reigned in
his place.
And in the fifth year of
Joram the son of
Ahab king of Israel,
Jehoshaphat being then king of Judah, Jehoram the son of
Jehoshaphat king of Judah began to reign.
In the fifth year of the reign of
Joram son of
Ahab over Israel, Jehoram son of
Jehoshaphat succeeded
his father as king of Judah.
And he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, as did the house of
Ahab: for the daughter of
Ahab was
his wife: and he did evil in the sight of the LORD.
And Jehoram walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, just as the house of
Ahab had done. For he married a daughter of
Ahab and did evil in the sight of the LORD.
Yet the LORD would not destroy Judah for David
his servant’s sake, as he promised him to give him
alway a light, and to
his children.
Yet for the sake of
His servant David, the LORD was unwilling to destroy Judah, since He had promised to maintain a lamp for David and
his descendants
forever.
In
his days
Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah, and made a king over themselves.
In the days of Jehoram,
Edom rebelled against the hand of Judah and appointed their own king.
So
Joram went over to Zair, and all the
chariots with him: and he rose by night, and
smote the Edomites which compassed him about, and the captains of the
chariots: and the people fled into their tents.
So Jehoram crossed over to Zair with all
his chariots. When the Edomites surrounded him and
his chariot commanders, he rose up and attacked by night.
His troops, however, fled to their homes.
And the rest of the acts of
Joram, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
As for the rest of the acts of Jehoram, along with all his accomplishments, are they not written in the book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?
And
Joram slept with
his fathers, and was buried with
his fathers in the city of David: and
Ahaziah his son reigned in
his stead.
And Jehoram rested with
his fathers and was buried with them in the City of David. And
his son
Ahaziah reigned in
his place.
Two and twenty years old was
Ahaziah when he began to reign; and he reigned one year in Jerusalem. And
his mother’s name was
Athaliah, the daughter of Omri king of Israel.
Ahaziah was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem one year.
His mother’s name was
Athaliah, the
granddaughter of Omri king of Israel.
And when thou comest thither, look out there
Jehu the son of
Jehoshaphat the son of Nimshi, and go in, and make him arise up from among
his brethren, and carry him to an inner chamber;
When you arrive, look for
Jehu son of
Jehoshaphat, the son of Nimshi. Go in, get him away from
his companions, and take him to an inner room.
Then take the box of oil, and pour it on
his head, and say, Thus saith the LORD, I have
anointed thee king over Israel. Then open the door, and
flee, and
tarry not.
Then take the
flask of oil, pour it on
his head, and declare, ‘This is what the LORD says: I
anoint you king over Israel.’ Then open the door and run. Do not delay!”
And he arose, and went into the house; and he poured the oil on
his head, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, I have
anointed thee king over the people of the LORD, even over Israel.
So
Jehu got up and went into the house, where the young prophet poured the oil on
his head and declared, “This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘I
anoint you king over the LORD’s people Israel.
Then
Jehu came forth to the servants of
his lord: and one said unto him, Is all well? wherefore came this
mad fellow to thee? And he said unto them, Ye know the man, and
his communication.
When
Jehu went out to the servants of
his master, they asked, “Is everything all right? Why did this
madman come to you?” “You know
his kind and their
babble,” he replied.
Then they hasted, and took every man
his garment, and put it under him on the top of the stairs, and
blew with
trumpets, saying,
Jehu is king.
Quickly, each man took
his garment and put it under
Jehu on the bare steps. Then they
blew the ram’s horn and proclaimed, “
Jehu is king!”
And
Joram said, Make ready. And
his chariot was made ready. And
Joram king of Israel and
Ahaziah king of Judah went out, each in
his chariot, and they went out against
Jehu, and met him in the portion of
Naboth the Jezreelite.
And
Jehu drew a bow with
his full strength, and
smote Jehoram between
his arms, and the
arrow went out at
his heart, and he sunk down in
his chariot.
Then said
Jehu to Bidkar
his captain, Take up, and cast him in the portion of the field of
Naboth the Jezreelite: for remember how that, when I and thou
rode together after
Ahab his father, the LORD laid this burden upon him;
And
Jehu said to Bidkar
his officer, “
Pick him up and throw him into the field of
Naboth the Jezreelite. For remember that when you and I were riding together behind
his father
Ahab, the LORD lifted up this burden against him:
Surely I have seen
yesterday the blood of
Naboth, and the blood of
his sons, saith the LORD; and I will requite thee in this
plat, saith the LORD. Now therefore take and cast him into the
plat of ground, according to the word of the LORD.
‘As surely as I saw the blood of
Naboth and the blood of
his sons
yesterday, declares the LORD, so will I repay you on this plot of ground, declares the LORD.’ Now then, according to the word of the LORD,
pick him up and throw him on the plot of ground.”
But when
Ahaziah the king of Judah saw this, he fled by the way of the garden house. And
Jehu followed after him, and said,
Smite him also in the
chariot. And they did so at the going up to Gur, which is by Ibleam. And he fled to
Megiddo, and died there.
When King
Ahaziah of Judah saw this, he fled up the road toward Beth-haggan. And
Jehu pursued him,
shouting, “Shoot him too!” So they shot
Ahaziah in
his chariot on the
Ascent of Gur, near Ibleam, and he fled to
Megiddo and died there.
And
his servants carried him in a
chariot to Jerusalem, and buried him in
his sepulchre with
his fathers in the city of David.
Then
his servants carried him by
chariot to Jerusalem and buried him with
his fathers in
his tomb in the City of David.
And as
Jehu entered in at the gate, she said, Had Zimri peace, who
slew his master?
And as
Jehu entered the gate, she asked, “Have you come in peace, O Zimri, murderer of your master?”
And he lifted up his face to the window, and said, Who is on my side? who? And there looked out to him two or three eunuchs.
He looked up at the window and called out, “Who is on my side? Who?” And two or three eunuchs looked down at him.
Wherefore they came again, and told him. And he said, This is the word of the LORD, which he spake by
his servant
Elijah the Tishbite, saying, In the portion of
Jezreel shall dogs eat the flesh of
Jezebel:
So they went back and told
Jehu, who replied, “This is the word of the LORD, which He spoke through
His servant
Elijah the Tishbite: ‘On the plot of ground at
Jezreel the dogs will
devour the flesh of
Jezebel.
Look even out the best and meetest of your master’s sons, and set him on his father’s throne, and fight for your master’s house.
select the best and most worthy son of your master, set him on his father’s throne, and fight for your master’s house.”
Know now that there shall fall unto the earth nothing of the word of the LORD, which the LORD spake concerning the house of
Ahab: for the LORD hath done that which he spake by
his servant
Elijah.
Know, then, that not a word the LORD has spoken against the house of
Ahab will fail, for the LORD has done what He promised through
His servant
Elijah.”
So
Jehu slew all that remained of the house of
Ahab in
Jezreel, and all
his great men, and
his kinsfolks, and
his priests, until he left him none remaining.
So
Jehu killed
everyone in
Jezreel who remained of the house of
Ahab, as well as all
his great men and close friends and priests, leaving him without a single
survivor.
And he said, Take them alive. And they took them alive, and
slew them at the pit of the shearing house, even two and forty men; neither left he any of them.
Then
Jehu ordered, “Take them alive.” So
his men took them alive, then slaughtered them at the well of Beth-
eked—forty-two men. He
spared none of them.
And when he was departed thence, he lighted on Jehonadab the son of Rechab coming to meet him: and he
saluted him, and said to him, Is thine heart right, as my heart is with thy heart? And Jehonadab answered, It is. If it be, give me thine hand. And he gave him
his hand; and he took him up to him into the
chariot.
When he left there, he found Jehonadab son of Rechab, who was coming to meet him.
Jehu greeted him and asked, “Is your heart as true to mine as my heart is to yours?” “It is!” Jehonadab replied. “If it is,” said
Jehu, “give me your hand.” So he gave him
his hand, and
Jehu helped him into
his chariot,
And he said, Come with me, and see my zeal for the LORD. So they made him
ride in
his chariot.
saying, “Come with me and see my zeal for the LORD!” So he had him
ride in
his chariot.
Now therefore call unto me all the prophets of
Baal, all
his servants, and all
his priests; let none be wanting: for I have a great sacrifice to do to
Baal;
whosoever shall be wanting, he shall not live. But
Jehu did it in
subtilty, to the intent that he might destroy the worshippers of
Baal.
Now, therefore,
summon to me all the prophets of
Baal, all
his servants, and all
his priests. See that no one is missing, for I have a great sacrifice for
Baal.
Whoever is missing will not live.” But
Jehu was acting
deceptively in order to destroy the servants of
Baal.
And when they went in to offer sacrifices and burnt offerings,
Jehu appointed
fourscore men without, and said, If any of the men whom I have brought into your hands escape, he that letteth him go,
his life shall be for the life of him.
And they went in to offer sacrifices and burnt offerings. Now
Jehu had stationed eighty men outside and
warned them, “If
anyone allows one of the men I am delivering into your hands to escape, he will
forfeit his life for theirs.”
But
Jehu took no
heed to walk in the law of the LORD God of Israel with all
his heart: for he departed not from the sins of
Jeroboam, which made Israel to sin.
Yet
Jehu was not careful to follow the instruction of the LORD, the God of Israel, with all
his heart. He did not turn away from the sins that
Jeroboam had caused Israel to commit.
Now the rest of the acts of
Jehu, and all that he did, and all
his might, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
As for the rest of the acts of
Jehu, along with all
his accomplishments and all
his might, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?
And
Jehu rested with
his fathers and was buried in Samaria, and
his son
Jehoahaz reigned in
his place.
But Jehosheba daughter of King
Joram, the sister of
Ahaziah, took
Joash son of
Ahaziah and
stole him away from among the sons of the king who were being murdered. She put him and
his nurse in a
bedroom to hide him from
Athaliah, and he was not killed.
And he was with her
hid in the house of the LORD six years. And
Athaliah did reign over the land.
And
Joash remained hidden with
his nurse in the house of the LORD for six years while
Athaliah ruled the land.
And ye shall compass the king round about, every man with his weapons in his hand: and he that cometh within the ranges, let him be slain: and be ye with the king as he goeth out and as he cometh in.
You must
surround the king with weapons in hand, and
anyone who approaches the ranks must be put to death. You must stay close to the king wherever he goes.”
And the captains over the hundreds did according to all things that Jehoiada the priest commanded: and they took every man his men that were to come in on the sabbath, with them that should go out on the sabbath, and came to Jehoiada the priest.
So the commanders of hundreds did everything that Jehoiada the priest had ordered. Each of them took his men—those coming on duty on the Sabbath and those going off duty—and came to Jehoiada the priest.
And the guard stood, every man with his weapons in his hand, round about the king, from the right corner of the temple to the left corner of the temple, along by the altar and the temple.
And the guards stood with weapons in hand surrounding the king by the altar and the temple, from the south side to the north side of the temple.
And all the people of the land went into the house of
Baal, and
brake it down;
his altars and
his images
brake they in pieces thoroughly, and
slew Mattan the priest of
Baal before the altars. And the priest appointed officers over the house of the LORD.
So all the people of the land went to the temple of
Baal and
tore it down. They
smashed the altars and idols to pieces, and they killed Mattan the priest of
Baal in front of the altars. And Jehoiada the priest posted guards for the house of the LORD.
And he took the rulers over hundreds, and the captains, and the guard, and all the people of the land; and they brought down the king from the house of the LORD, and came by the way of the gate of the guard to the king’s house. And he sat on the throne of the kings.
He took with him the commanders of hundreds, the Carites, the guards, and all the people of the land, and they brought the king down from the house of the LORD and entered the royal palace by way of the Gate of the Guards. Then
Joash took
his seat on the royal throne,
In the seventh year of
Jehu Jehoash began to reign; and forty years reigned he in Jerusalem. And
his mother’s name was Zibiah of Beer-
sheba.
In the seventh year of
Jehu,
Joash became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem forty years.
His mother’s name was Zibiah; she was from
Beersheba.
And Jehoash did that which was right in the sight of the LORD all
his days wherein Jehoiada the priest
instructed him.
And
Joash did what was right in the eyes of the LORD all the days he was
instructed by Jehoiada the priest.
Let the priests take it to them, every man of
his acquaintance: and let them repair the breaches of the house,
wheresoever any breach shall be found.
Let every priest receive it from
his constituency, and let it be used to repair any damage found in the temple.”
Then
Hazael king of Syria went up, and fought against
Gath, and took it: and
Hazael set
his face to go up to Jerusalem.
At that time
Hazael king of
Aram marched up and fought against
Gath and captured it. Then he decided to attack Jerusalem.
And Jehoash king of Judah took all the
hallowed things that
Jehoshaphat, and Jehoram, and
Ahaziah,
his fathers, kings of Judah, had dedicated, and
his own
hallowed things, and all the gold that was found in the treasures of the house of the LORD, and in the king’s house, and sent it to
Hazael king of Syria: and he went away from Jerusalem.
So King
Joash of Judah took all the sacred objects dedicated by
his fathers—
Jehoshaphat, Jehoram, and
Ahaziah, the kings of Judah—along with
his own consecrated items and all the gold found in the
treasuries of the house of the LORD and the royal palace, and he sent them to
Hazael king of
Aram. So
Hazael withdrew from Jerusalem.
And the rest of the acts of
Joash, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
As for the rest of the acts of
Joash, along with all
his accomplishments, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?
And the servants of
Joash rose up and formed a
conspiracy and killed him at Beth-
millo, on the road down to Silla.
For Jozachar the son of Shimeath, and Jehozabad the son of Shomer,
his servants,
smote him, and he died; and they buried him with
his fathers in the city of David: and
Amaziah his son reigned in
his stead.
His servants Jozabad son of Shimeath and Jehozabad son of Shomer struck him down, and he died. And they buried him with
his fathers in the City of David, and
his son
Amaziah reigned in
his place.
And the anger of the LORD was
kindled against Israel, and he delivered them into the hand of
Hazael king of Syria, and into the hand of Ben-
hadad the son of
Hazael, all their days.
So the anger of the LORD burned against Israel, and He delivered them continually into the hands of
Hazael king of
Aram and
his son Ben-
hadad.
Now the rest of the acts of
Jehoahaz, and all that he did, and
his might, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
As for the rest of the acts of
Jehoahaz, along with all
his accomplishments and
his might, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?
And
Jehoahaz rested with
his fathers and was buried in Samaria. And
his son Jehoash reigned in
his place.
And the rest of the acts of
Joash, and all that he did, and
his might
wherewith he fought against
Amaziah king of Judah, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
As for the rest of the acts of Jehoash, along with all
his accomplishments and
his might, including
his war against
Amaziah king of Judah, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?
And
Joash slept with
his fathers; and
Jeroboam sat upon
his throne: and
Joash was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel.
And Jehoash rested with
his fathers, and
Jeroboam succeeded him on the throne. Jehoash was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel.
Now
Elisha was fallen sick of
his sickness
whereof he died. And
Joash the king of Israel came down unto him, and
wept over
his face, and said, O my father, my father, the
chariot of Israel, and the
horsemen thereof.
When
Elisha had fallen sick with the illness from which he would die, Jehoash king of Israel came down to him and
wept over him, saying, “My father, my father, the
chariots and
horsemen of Israel!”
And he said to the king of Israel, Put thine hand upon the bow. And he put
his hand upon it: and
Elisha put
his hands upon the king’s hands.
Then
Elisha said to the king of Israel, “Put your hand on the bow.” So the king put
his hand on the bow, and
Elisha put
his hands on the king’s hands.
And it came to pass, as they were
burying a man, that, behold, they
spied a band of men; and they cast the man into the
sepulchre of
Elisha: and when the man was let down, and touched the bones of
Elisha, he revived, and stood up on
his feet.
Once, as the Israelites were
burying a man, suddenly they saw a band of raiders, so they threw the man’s body into
Elisha’s tomb. And as soon as
his body touched the bones of
Elisha, the man was revived and stood up on
his feet.
And the LORD was
gracious unto them, and had
compassion on them, and had respect unto them, because of
his covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and would not destroy them, neither cast he them from
his presence as yet.
But the LORD was
gracious to Israel and had
compassion on them, and He turned toward them because of
His covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. And to this day, the LORD has been unwilling to destroy them or cast them from
His presence.
And Jehoash the son of

his own sin.
Yet he did not put the sons of the murderers to death, but acted according to what is written in the Book of the Law of Moses, where the LORD commanded: “Fathers must not be put to death for their children, and children must not be put to death for their fathers; each is to die for his own sin.”
