- 1And it came to pass, when Samuel was old, that he made his sons judges over Israel.
- 2Now the name of his first-born was Joel; and the name of his second, Abiah: they were judges in Beer-sheba.
- 3And his sons walked not in his ways, but turned aside after lucre, and took bribes, and perverted judgment.
- 4Then all the elders of Israel assembled, and came to Samuel to Ramah,
- 5And said to 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.

- 21And Samuel heard all the words of the people, and he rehearsed them in the ears of the LORD.
- 22And the LORD said to Samuel, Hearken to their voice, and make them a king. And Samuel said to the men of Israel, Go ye every man to his city.
