And it was when he was old Samuel and he made sons his judges for Israel.

٢ 2 وَكَانَ ٱسْمُ ٱبْنِهِ ٱلْبِكْرِ يُوئِيلَ، وَٱسْمُ ثَانِيهِ أَبِيَّا. كَانَا قَاضِيَيْنِ فِي بِئْرِ سَبْعٍ.

٣ 3 وَلَمْ يَسْلُكِ ٱبْنَاهُ فِي طَرِيقِهِ، بَلْ مَالَا وَرَاءَ ٱلْمَكْسَبِ، وَأَخَذَا رَشْوَةً وَعَوَّجَا ٱلْقَضَاءَ.
