Chasidut for Pesachim 111:1

ואוכלין מתחת הנשרים בשבת ונותנין פאה לירק ומיחו בידם חכמים:

AND THEY ATE THE FALLEN FRUIT FROM BENEATH [THE TREE] ON THE SABBATH, AND THEY GAVE PE'AH<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' V. Glos. Pe'ah is exempt from tithes, and the poor, by eating the vegetables without tithing them in the belief that they were Pe'ah, ate tebel (v. Glos.) .');"><sup>1</sup></span> FROM VEGETABLES; AND THE SAGES FORBADE THEM. <big><b>GEMARA: </b></big>Our Rabbis taught: Six things King Hezekiah did; in three they [the Sages] agreed with him, and in three they did not agree with him - He dragged his father's bones [corpse] on a rope bier,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Instead of showing him the honour due to a king. He did this in order to effect atonement for him, his father (Ahaz) having been very wicked.');"><sup>2</sup></span> and they agreed with him; he crushed the brazen serpent,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Set up by Moses, Num. XXI, 8f; v. II Kings XVIII, 4.');"><sup>3</sup></span>

Pri Tzadik

וישמע יתרו: the portion dealing with יתרו comes before the giving of the Torah. There is a discussion whether יתרו's portion came before or after the giving of the Torah. If the portion of יתרו came before, we need to understand why the whole giving of the Torah was prefaced with the story of יתרו.
