1 Samuel 8:1

“And shall he desire children and delight himself in a long line of descendants, who will perhaps fall into the clutches of Antichrist, when we read thatMoses andSamuel preferred other men to their own sons, and did not count as their children those whom they saw to be displeasing to God?” — editor's note: See 1 Sam. viii. 1–4 and ch. ix.

“Samuel also died a holy old man, leaving his sons as his successors.” — editor's note: 1 Sam. viii. 1, xxv. 1.
