1 Samuel 8:1-5
1And it came to pass when SamuelH8050 wasH1961 old, that he madeH7760 his sonsH1121 judgesH8199 over IsraelH3478.
2And the nameH8034 of his firstbornH1060 was JoelH3100; and the nameH8034 of his secondH4932, AbijahH29; they judgedH8199 in Beer-sheba.
3And his sonsH1121 walkedH1980 not in his waysH1870, but turnedH5186 asideH5186 after lucre, and tookH3947 bribesH7810, and perverted justiceH4941.
4Then all the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478 gatheredH6908 themselves togetherH6908, and cameH935 to SamuelH8050 to RamahH7414,
5and saidH559 to him, Behold, thou art become old, and thy sonsH1121 walkH1980 not in thy waysH1870: nowH6258 appointH7760 us a kingH4428 to judgeH8199 us, like all the nationsH1471.
