Israel Tells Samuel to Appoint a King

8 And it happened when Samuel was old that ^(A)he appointed his sons judges over Israel. ² The name of his firstborn was Joel, and the name of his second, Abijah; they were judging in ^(B)Beersheba. ³ But his sons did not walk in his ways, but turned aside after greedy gain and ^(C)took bribes and caused justice to turn aside.
