SCRIPTURE

"but the children of the murderers he put not to death; according to that which is written in the book of the law of Moses, as Jehovah 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 die for his own sin." — 2 Kings 14:6 (ASV)

Even with the kings of Israel. — Probably some words have fallen out, and the original text was: “and was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel” (Compare to 2 Kings 14:16). The Syriac and Arabic have, “and was buried.”
