1 And it came to pass when Samuel was old that he made his sons judges over Israel.
2 Now the name of his firstborn was Joel, and the name of his second, Abiah; they were judges in Beersheba.
3 And his sons did not walk in his ways but turned aside after greed, receiving bribes and perverting that which is right.
4 Then all the elders of Israel gathered themselves together and came to Samuel in Ramah
5 and said unto him, Behold, thou art old, and thy sons do not walk in thy ways; therefore make us a king to judge us like all the Gentiles.
