In context

1When Samuel grew old, he appointed his sons as judges over Israel.

2The name of his firstborn son was Joel, and the name of his second was Abijah. They were judges in Beersheba.

3But his sons did not walk in his ways; they turned aside toward dishonest gain, accepting bribes and perverting justice.
