WE have heard in the former verse, how Samson was led and strengthened 1by the spirit of God: now it followeth to see how that grace was set awork in him: and first in going about his marriage, to the which he was led by God, to make it with a Philistine woman, for it had otherwise been unlawful: which being spoken of throughout this whole Chapter following, I will lay forth in this manner, referring all things about it, to these four points. First, how he sought his wife, in these 4. next verses. Secondly, how he went to agree with her and receive her, and what fell out by the way, to the tenth verse. Thirdly, what was done in their meeting at the marriage, which is set down in the eleventh verse; and this to the twentieth. And lastly, what followed the marriage feast, and namely, that he payed the ⟨p. 657⟩Philistines the apparel and linen, and how he took occasion by somewhat done there, to begin to vex the Philistines, and this to the end of the Chapter.
