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.

1 Samuel 8:2 · שמואל א ח:ב

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.

1 Samuel 8:3 · שמואל א ח:ג

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.

1 Samuel 8:4 · שמואל א ח:ד

וַיִּֽתְקַבְּצוּ כֹּל זִקְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וַיָּבֹאוּ אֶל־שְׁמוּאֵל הָרָמָֽתָה

Then all the elders of Israel gathered themselves together, and came to Samuel unto Ramah.

And they said unto him: ‘Behold, thou art old, and thy sons walk not in thy ways; now make us a king to judge us like all the nations.’
