1 On the second-prime sabbath, as Jesus was passing through the corn-fields, his disciples happen'd to pluck the ears, and rubbing out the corn with their hands began to eat. 2 upon which some of the Pharisees said to them, why do you do what is not allowed to be done on the sabbath-day? 3 but Jesus replied, have you never read what David did, when he and his company were press'd with hunger? 4 how he went into the court of the tabernacle, took and eat the shew-bread, and distributed it likewise to the company, which the law allowed the priests only to eat?
