NASB
"His sons, however, did not walk in his ways, but turned aside after dishonest gain and took bribes and perverted justice."
— 1 Samuel 8:3, NASB
“And his sons walked not in his ways, but turned aside after lucre, and took bribes, and perverted judgment.”
“And his sons walked not in his ways, but turned aside after lucre, and took bribes, and perverted justice. ”
“His sons didn't walk in his ways, but turned aside after lucre, and took bribes, and perverted justice.”
“But his sons did not follow his ways. Instead, they made money dishonestly, accepted bribes, and perverted justice.”
“And his sons walked not in his ways: but they turned aside after lucre, and took bribes, and perverted judgment.”
“And his sons did not go in his ways, but moved by the love of money took rewards, and were not upright in judging.”
“And his sons walked not in his ways, but turned aside after lucre, and took bribes, and perverted judgment.”
And it came about when Samuel was old that he appointed his sons judges over Israel.
Now the name of his firstborn was Joel, and the name of his second, Abijah; they were judging in Beersheba.
His sons, however, did not walk in his ways, but turned aside after dishonest gain and took bribes and perverted justice.
Then all the elders of Israel gathered together and came to Samuel at Ramah;
and they said to him, "Behold, you have grown old, and your sons do not walk in your ways. Now appoint a king for us to judge us like all the nations."
But the thing was displeasing in the sight of Samuel when they said, "Give us a king to judge us." And Samuel prayed to the LORD.
