וּתְשֻׁבָתוֹ הָרָמָתָה כִּֽי־שָׁם בֵּיתוֹ וְשָׁם שָׁפָט אֶת־יִשְׂרָאֵל וַיִּֽבֶן־שָׁם מִזְבֵּחַ לַֽיהוָֽה
And his return was to Ramah, for there was his house; and there he judged Israel; and he built there an altar unto the LORD.
וַיְהִי כַּאֲשֶׁר זָקֵן שְׁמוּאֵל וַיָּשֶׂם אֶת־בָּנָיו שֹׁפְטִים לְיִשְׂרָאֵֽל
And it came to pass, when Samuel was old, that he made his sons judges over Israel.
וַיְהִי שֶׁם־בְּנוֹ הַבְּכוֹר יוֹאֵל וְשֵׁם מִשְׁנֵהוּ אֲבִיָּה שֹׁפְטִים בִּבְאֵר שָֽׁבַע
Now the name of his first-born was Joel; and the name of his second, Abijah; they were judges in Beer-sheba.
וְלֹֽא־הָלְכוּ בָנָיו בדרכו וַיִּטּוּ אַחֲרֵי הַבָּצַע וַיִּקְחוּ־שֹׁחַד וַיַּטּוּ מִשְׁפָּֽט
And his sons walked not in his ways, but turned aside after lucre, and took bribes, and perverted justice.
וַיִּֽתְקַבְּצוּ כֹּל זִקְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וַיָּבֹאוּ אֶל־שְׁמוּאֵל הָרָמָֽתָה
Then all the elders of Israel gathered themselves together, and came to Samuel unto Ramah.
