## 2 Chronicles 25:4 in Context (Verses 1–7 KJV)
 
 [1 ](/kjv/2-chronicles/25/1) Amaziah *was* twenty and five years old *when* he began to reign, and he reigned twenty and nine years in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name *was* Jehoaddan of Jerusalem.
 
 [2 ](/kjv/2-chronicles/25/2) And he did *that which was* right in the sight of the LORD, but not with a perfect heart.
 
 [3 ](/kjv/2-chronicles/25/3) ¶ Now it came to pass, when the kingdom was established to him, that he slew his servants that had killed the king his father.*
 
 [4 ](/kjv/2-chronicles/25/4) But he slew not their children, but *did* as *it is* written in the law in the book of Moses, where the LORD commanded, saying, The fathers shall not die for the children, neither shall the children die for the fathers, but every man shall die for his own sin.
 
 [5 ](/kjv/2-chronicles/25/5) ¶ Moreover Amaziah gathered Judah together, and made them captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, according to the houses of *their* fathers, throughout all Judah and Benjamin: and he numbered them from twenty years old and above, and found them three hundred thousand choice *men, able* to go forth to war, that could handle spear and shield.
 
 [6 ](/kjv/2-chronicles/25/6) He hired also an hundred thousand mighty men of valour out of Israel for an hundred talents of silver.
 
 [7 ](/kjv/2-chronicles/25/7) But there came a man of God to him, saying, O king, let not the army of Israel go with thee; for the LORD *is* not with Israel, *to wit, with* all the children of Ephraim.
