2 The name of his firstborn was Joel, and the name of his second, Abijah; they were judges in Beersheba.
3 But his sons adid not walk in his ways; they turned aside bafter dishonest gain, ctook bribes, and perverted justice.
4 Then all the elders of Israel gathered together and came to Samuel at Ramah,
5 and said to him, “Look, you are old, and your sons do not walk in your ways. Now amake us a king to judge us like all the nations.”
6 But the thing adispleased Samuel when they said, “Give us a king to judge us.” So Samuel bprayed to the Lord.
7 And the Lord said to Samuel, “Heed the voice of the people in all that they say to you; for athey have not rejected you, but bthey have rejected Me, that I should not reign over them.
8 According to all the works which they have done since the day that I brought them up out of Egypt, even to this day—with which they have forsaken Me and served other gods—so they are doing to you also.
