Context
1Samweli alipokuwa mzee, akaweka wanawe kuwa waamuzi wa Israeli. 2Mzaliwa wa kwanza alikuwa Yoeli, na la wa pili lilikuwa Abiya, nao wakatumika huko Beer-Sheba. 3Lakini wanawe hawakuenenda katika njia zake. Waliziacha wakageukia faida za udanganyifu nao wakapokea rushwa na kupotosha haki. 4Basi wazee wote wa Israeli wakakusanyika pamoja na kumjia Samweli huko Rama. 5Wakamwambia, “Wewe umekuwa mzee, nao wanao hawaenendi katika njia zako, sasa tuteulie mfalme wa kutuongoza, kama ilivyo kwa mataifa mengine yote.”
