1 Samuel 8:3 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 8:3

And his sons walked not in his ways
The meaning of which is not that they did not go the circuit he did, which is too low a sense of the words some Jewish writers give; but they did not walk in the fear of God, in the paths of religion and righteousness, truth and holiness; they neither served God, nor did justice to men, as Samuel had done:

but turned aside after lucre, and took bribes, and perverted judgment;
indulged to covetousness, sought to get riches at any rate, took bribes, which blind the eyes of judges; and so passed wrong judgment, and gave the cause to those that gave the largest gifts, right or wrong.

1 Samuel 8:3 In-Context

1 Ora, havendo Samuel envelhecido, constituiu a seus filhos por juízes sobre Israel.
2 O seu filho primogênito chamava-se Joel, e o segundo Abias; e julgavam em Berseba.
3 Seus filhos, porém, não andaram nos caminhos dele, mas desviaram-se após o lucro e, recebendo peitas, perverteram a justiça.
4 Então todos os anciãos de Israel se congregaram, e vieram ter com Samuel, a Ramá,
5 e lhe disseram: Eis que já estás velho, e teus filhos não andam nos teus caminhos. Constitui-nos, pois, agora um rei para nos julgar, como o têm todas as nações.
