Now his father went down to see the woman. And there Samson held a feast, as was customary for young men.

Samson’s father went down to see the woman. Samson had a feast prepared there. He was following the practice of young men when they married their wives.

His father went down to the woman, and Samson prepared a feast there, for so the young men used to do.

As his father was making final arrangements for the marriage, Samson threw a party at Timnah, as was the custom for elite young men.

His father went to visit the woman, and Samson prepared a feast there, as young men were accustomed to do.

Then his father went down to the woman; and Samson held a feast there, for the young men customarily did this.

And his father went down unto the woman: and Samson made there a feast; for so used the young men to do.

So his father went down unto the woman: and Samson made there a feast; for so used the young men to do.

Then Samson’s father accompanied him to Timnah for the marriage. Samson hosted a party there, for this was customary for bridegrooms to do.

His father went down to the woman; and Samson made a feast there, for the young men used to do so.

Then he said to me,“ Write:‘ Blessed are those who are called to the marriage supper of the Lamb!’” And he said to me,“ These are the true sayings of God.”

“ The kingdom of heaven is like a certain king who arranged a marriage for his son,and sent out his servants to call those who were invited to the wedding; and they were not willing to come.Again, he sent out other servants, saying,‘ Tell those who are invited,“ See, I have prepared my dinner; my oxen and fatted cattle are killed, and all things are ready. Come to the wedding.”’

When the master of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and did not know where it came from( but the servants who had drawn the water knew), the master of the feast called the bridegroom.

And they served drinks in golden vessels, each vessel being different from the other, with royal wine in abundance, according to the generosity of the king.In accordance with the law, the drinking was not compulsory; for so the king had ordered all the officers of his household, that they should do according to each man’s pleasure.Queen Vashti also made a feast for the women in the royal palace which belonged to King Ahasuerus.On the seventh day, when the heart of the king was merry with wine, he commanded Mehuman, Biztha, Harbona, Bigtha, Abagtha, Zethar, and Carcas, seven eunuchs who served in the presence of King Ahasuerus,to bring Queen Vashti before the king, wearing her royal crown, in order to show her beauty to the people and the officials, for she was beautiful to behold.But Queen Vashti refused to come at the king’s command brought by his eunuchs; therefore the king was furious, and his anger burned within him.Then the king said to the wise men who understood the times( for this was the king’s manner toward all who knew law and justice,those closest to him being Carshena, Shethar, Admatha, Tarshish, Meres, Marsena, and Memucan, the seven princes of Persia and Media, who had access to the king’s presence, and who ranked highest in the kingdom):“ What shall we do to Queen Vashti, according to law, because she did not obey the command of King Ahasuerus brought to her by the eunuchs?”And Memucan answered before the king and the princes:“ Queen Vashti has not only wronged the king, but also all the princes, and all the people who are in all the provinces of King Ahasuerus.For the queen’s behavior will become known to all women, so that they will despise their husbands in their eyes, when they report,‘ King Ahasuerus commanded Queen Vashti to be brought in before him, but she did not come.’This very day the noble ladies of Persia and Media will say to all the king’s officials that they have heard of the behavior of the queen. Thus there will be excessive contempt and wrath.If it pleases the king, let a royal decree go out from him, and let it be recorded in the laws of the Persians and the Medes, so that it will not be altered, that Vashti shall come no more before King Ahasuerus; and let the king give her royal position to another who is better than she.When the king’s decree which he will make is proclaimed throughout all his empire( for it is great), all wives will honor their husbands, both great and small.”And the reply pleased the king and the princes, and the king did according to the word of Memucan.Then he sent letters to all the king’s provinces, to each province in its own script, and to every people in their own language, that each man should be master in his own house, and speak in the language of his own people.

And Laban gathered together all the men of the place and made a feast.

A feast is made for laughter, And wine makes merry; But money answers everything.
