We have heard how Samson went to take his wife, and what fell out by 1the way. Now followeth the third point (in this second part of the Chapter) to wit, their meeting to accomplish his marriage, and what things were done thereat, and they were especially four. The first, he made the Philistines a feast, in this verse. Secondly, what the Philistines did to him: verse 12. That is, they provided thirty companions to be with him; Thirdly, Samson propounded a riddle to them, with condition what they should have, if they could tell him the meaning of it, within seven days, and contrariwise: and this to the middest of the 15. verse. Lastly, how they laboured to know the meaning of it, but could not, till the seventh day, and then they told it to him, having gotten it of his wife before: and this to the twentieth verse.
