1 Samuel 8:1-3

Tree of Life Version

Israel Demands a King

8 Now when Samuel grew old, he appointed his sons as judges over Israel. ² The name of his firstborn was Joel and the name of his second Abijah—they were judges in Beersheba. ³ His sons, however, did not walk in his ways, but turned aside after dishonest gain—they took bribes and perverted justice.
