Exegesis
The negation lo {לֹא | lō} directly governs hemith {הֵמִית | hēmît} ‘he put to death’, forming a decisive denial of retaliatory practice.
In context — 2 Kings 14:6
But the sons of the killers he did not put to death, as written in the Book of the Law of Moses, which the LORD commanded, saying, “Fathers shall not be put to death for sons, and sons shall not be put to death for fathers; but a man, for his own sin, shall die; he shall be put to death.”
