So all the elders of Israel gathered together and came to Samuel at Ramah.
They said to him, “You are old, and your sons do not follow your ways; now appoint a king to lead us, such as all the other nations have.”1 Samuel 8:5 NIV
But his sons did not follow his ways. They turned aside after dishonest gain and accepted bribes and perverted justice.1 Samuel 8:3 NIV
