The story of Samson picks up in this chapter, with some interesting exploits. It looks like God is setting him up to be hated by the Philistines, so that he will have cause to rise up against them. So far he has killed 30 of them, to provide clothes for a bet he made which he lost. I think this will also mark the beginning of 'women trouble' for Samson, as he was betrayed by the woman he was going to marry. If my memory serves, this will become a recurring theme in his life.
