2. And he did what was good in the sight of the Lord: but yet not with a perfect heart.
3. And when he saw himself strengthened in his kingdom, he put to death the servants that had slain the king his father.
4. But he slew not their children, as it is written in the book of the law of Moses, where the Lord commanded, saying: The fathers shall not be slain for the children, nor the children for their fathers, but every man shall die for his own sin.
