2 Chronicles 25:5 in Context — 2 Chronicles 25

3 Y luego que fué confirmado en el reino, mató á sus siervos que habían muerto al rey su padre;

4 Mas no mató á los hijos de ellos, según lo que está escrito en la ley en el libro de Moisés, donde Jehová mandó, diciendo: No morirán los padres por los hijos, ni los hijos por los padres; mas cada uno morirá por su pecado.

5 Juntó luego Amasías á Judá, y con arreglo á las familias púsoles tribunos y centuriones por todo Judá y Benjamín; y tomólos por lista de veinte años arriba, y fueron hallados en ellos trescientos mil escogidos para salir á la guerra, que tenían lanza y escudo.

6 Y de Israel tomó á sueldo cien mil hombres valientes, por cien talentos de plata.

7 Mas un varón de Dios vino á él, diciéndole: Rey, no vaya contigo el ejército de Israel; porque Jehová no es con Israel, [ni] con todos los hijos de Ephraim.
