← 2 Kings 14:5	2 Kings 14:6 (KJV)	2 Kings 14:7 →
And it came to pass, as soon as the kingdom was confirmed in his hand, that he slew his servants which had slain the king his father.	But the children of the murderers he slew not: according unto that which is written in the book of the law of Moses, wherein the LORD commanded, saying, The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, nor the children be put to death for the fathers; but every man shall be put to death for his own sin.	He slew of Edom in the valley of salt ten thousand, and took Selah by war, and called the name of it Joktheel unto this day.
