This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
1Sa_2:36 And it shall come to pass, [that] every one that is left in thine house shall come [and] crouch to him for a piece of silver and a morsel of bread, and shall say, Put me, I pray thee, into one of the priests’ offices, that I may eat a piece of bread.
Ver. 36. Shall come and crouch to him for a piece of silver.] As Abiathar did, that officiperda, when banished to Anathoth, where he had not a maintenance. {1Ki_2:26} Let those that would shun poverty, and prevent it in posterity, take heed of snatching from others, and of pampering their paunches.
That I may eat.] We preach the gospel, saith an ingenuous Papist, tantum ut nos pascat et vestiat, for this end only, that we may pick a living out of it. So do too many amongst us.
