Samuel appointed his sons as judges. The problem was that they did not follow God. They didn't live like their father did. To me, it seems that Samuel learned nepotism from Eli. He chose those of his family, which might not have been bad, but it was, and this time, the people rejected it. I applaud the people for rejecting Samuel's evil sons, but their solution wasn't a good one either. Ultimately, Jesus will be the king they wanted, but getting a human king is going to be overall as bad as Samuel's sons might have been.
