Structure and formatting
The account of Samson continues in this chapter.
Some translations set poetry farther to the right than the rest of the text to show that it is poetry. The ULB does this with the poetry in 15:16.
Special concepts in this chapter

The Spirit of Yahweh rushed upon Samson. This meant God gave Samson extraordinary strength. Samson's power is the power of Yahweh himself and he enacted the judgment of God on the Philistines. (See: rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/holyspirit and rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/judge)
