'Judging' in the Bible

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.

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