Gill's Notes on the Bible
And it came to pass, when Samuel was old,.... The common notion of the Jews is, that he lived but fifty two years t; when a man is not usually called an old man, unless the infirmities of old age came upon him sooner than they commonly do, through his indefatigable labours from his childhood, and the cares and burdens of government he had long bore; though some think he was about sixty years of age; and Abarbinel is of opinion that he was more than seventy. It is a rule with the Jews u, that a man is called an old man at sixty, and a grey headed man at seventy:
that he made his sons judges over Israel; under himself, not being able through old age to go the circuits he used; he sent them, and appointed them to hear and try causes in his stead, or settled them in some particular places in the land, and, as it seems by what follows, at Beersheba; though whether that was under his direction, or was their own choice, is not certain.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
This verse implies a long period, probably not less than 20 years, of which we have no account except what is contained in the brief notice in 1 Samuel 7:13-17. The general idea conveyed is of a time of peace and prosperity, analogous to that under other Judges.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
CHAPTER VIII
Samuel, grown old, makes his sons judges in Beer-sheba, 1, 2.
They pervert judgment; and the people complain, and desire a
king, 3-5.
Samuel is displeased, and inquires of the Lord, 6.
The Lord is also displeased; but directs Samuel to appoint them
a king, and to show them solemnly the consequences of their
choice, 7-9.
Samuel does so; and shows them what they may expect from an
absolute monarch, and how afflicted they should be under his
administration, 10-18.
The people refuse to recede from their demand; and Samuel lays
the matter before the Lord, and dismisses them, 19-22.
NOTES ON CHAP. VIII
Verse 1 Samuel 8:1. When Samuel was old — Supposed to be about sixty.
He made his sons judges — He appointed them as his lieutenants to superintend certain affairs in Beer-sheba, which he could not conveniently attend to himself. But they were never judges in the proper sense of the word; Samuel was the last judge in Israel, and he judged it to the day of his death. See 1 Samuel 7:16.
