1Samuel 13-14; Luke 14:1-24. Saul asserts himself as king and offers the burnt offering because Samuel is delayed. He thinks the people will scatter. Samuel arrives just as he finishes and tells him God has rejected him as king for another. Jonathan leads the charge against the Philistines and they are defeated. During the battle Saul binds the people under an oath to not eat. Jonathan wasn't there and eats. Later when Saul finds out he wants to kill Jonathan as per the oath but the people rescue Jonathan.
Jesus goes to eat at the home of a Pharisee on the Sabbath. He heals a man after challenging the guests to explain why he shouldn't heal on the Sabbath. Then he tells the guests that they shouldn't grab the seats of honor but take the lower seats and let the host move them up. Then he tells a parable to the host about a man who was snubbed by those he invited to his feast and that host invited people from all over who normally would not have been invited.
