'Judging' in the Bible

and I have declared to him that I am judging his house -- to the age, for the iniquity which he hath known, for his sons are making themselves vile, and he hath not restrained them,

And at these words about the ark of God, Eli, falling back off his seat by the side of the doorway into the town, came down on the earth so that his neck was broken and death overtook him, for he was an old man and of great weight. He had been judging Israel for forty years.

From year to year he went in turn to Beth-el and Gilgal and Mizpah, judging Israel in all those places.

Now the name of his firstborn was Joel, and the name of his second, Abijah; they were judging in Beersheba.

And his sons did not go in his ways, but moved by the love of money took rewards, and were not upright in judging.
