1 And it will be when Samuel was old, he set his sons judges to Israel. 2 And the name of his son the firstborn will be Joel; and the name of his second, Abiah: judges at the Well of the Oath. 3 And his sons went not in his way, and they will incline after plunder, and they will take a gift, and they will turn away from judgment. 4 And all the old men of Israel will gather together and will come to Samuel to Ramah; 5 And they will say to him, Behold, thou wert old, and thy sons went not in thy ways: now set up for us a king to judge us as all the nations. 1 Samuel 8:1-5, Smith's Literal Translation.
