And his sons walked not in his ways, but turned aside after lucre, and took bribes, and perverted judgment.
Pero sus hijos no siguieron su ejemplo. En cambio, persiguieron el dinero, aceptaron sobornos y torcieron la justicia para beneficiarse a sí mismos.
Los hijos de Samuel se corrompieron buscando ganancias personales en lugar de seguir el ejemplo justo de su padre.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In the book of 1 Samuel, the prophet Samuel served as a judge for Israel during a time when the nation was transitioning from a loose confederation of tribes to a monarchy, and he appointed his sons to help lead. However, his sons, Joel and Abijah, failed to follow Samuel's righteous example and instead engaged in corruption by accepting bribes and twisting justice for personal gain. This misconduct eroded trust among the people and set the stage for their demand for a king to replace the current system of judges.
