8:1And it came to pass, when Samuel was old, that he made his sons judges over Israel.

8:2Now the name of his firstborn was Joel; and the name of his second, Abiah: they were judges in Beersheba.

8:3And his sons walked not in his ways, but turned aside after lucre, and took bribes, and perverted judgment.

8:4Then all the elders of Israel gathered themselves together, and came to Samuel unto Ramah,

8:5And 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.
