1 Samuel 8:3-5

Christian Standard Bible

³ However, his sons did not walk in his ways—they turned toward dishonest profit, took bribes, and perverted justice.^(A)

⁴ So all the elders of Israel gathered together and went to Samuel at Ramah.^{(B) 5} They said to him, “Look, you are old, and your sons do not walk in your ways. Therefore, appoint a king to judge us the same as all the other nations have.”^(C)
