Exegesis
The relative clause asher-tsivah {אֲשֶׁר־צִוָּה | ʾăšer-ṣivvāh} assigns the command to YHWH {יְהוָה | Yə-hō-wāh}, legitimizing the king’s restraint as obedience rather than weakness.
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.”
