1 Samuel 8:1-5

1And it came about when Samuel was old that 1he appointed his sons judges over Israel. 2Now the name of his firstborn was Joel, and the name of his second, Abijah; they were judging in 2Beersheba. 3His sons, however, did not walk in his ways, but turned aside after dishonest gain and 3took bribes and perverted justice.

4Then all the elders of Israel gathered together and came to Samuel at 4Ramah; 5and they said to him, “Behold, you have grown old, and your sons do not walk in your ways. Now 5appoint a king for us to judge us like all the nations.”
