* And it came to pass , when Samuel was old , that he made his sons judges over Israel . * Now the name of his firstborn was Joel ; and the name of his second , Abiah : they were judges in Beersheba . * And his sons walked not in his ways , but turned aside after lucre , and took bribes , and perverted judgment . * Then all the elders of Israel gathered themselves together , and came to Samuel unto Ramah , * And said unto him , Behold , thou art old , and thy sons walk not in thy ways : now make us a king to judge us like all the nations .
