In Context

1 It happened, when Samuel was old, that he made his sons judges over Israel.

2 Now the name of his firstborn was Joel; and the name of his second, Abijah: they were judges in Beersheba.

3 His sons didn't walk in his ways, but turned aside after lucre, and took bribes, and perverted justice.

4 Then all the elders of Israel gathered themselves together, and came to Samuel to Ramah;

5 and they said to him, |Behold, you are old, and your sons don't walk in your ways: now make us a king to judge us like all the nations.|

6 But the thing displeased Samuel, when they said, |Give us a king to judge us.| Samuel prayed to Yahweh.
