Chris,

Way back when, the original question, or challange posed 
was: *were there any examples in the OT of later 
generations being punished for the sins of an earlier 
generation (sins of the father being visited on the 
children)* as described in Ex 34:7. I offered these two 
examples (1 Sam 15 and 2 Sam 21) were this occurred.

I did not claim that this punishment was *unjust* or *
unfair* or question the ethics or equity of punishing later 
generations for the actions of earlier generations in any 
way.  I merely say that that these two stories are examples 
of this sort of punishment.
