1 Samuel - 8:3 Meaning
“And his sons walked not in his ways, but turned aside after lucre, and took bribes, and perverted judgment.”
King James Version (KJV)
Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary
8:1-3 It does not appear that Samuel's sons were so profane and vicious as Eli's sons; but they were corrupt judges, they turned aside after lucre. Samuel took no bribes, but his sons did, and then they perverted judgment. What added to the grievance of the people was, that they were threatened by an invasion from Nahash, king of the Ammonites.
“Jehoahaz was twenty and three years old when he began to reign; and he reigned three months in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Hamutal, the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.”
