In Judges 14:1, Samson sees a Philistine woman and demands to take her — the see-then-take pattern of a strong figure pursuing a woman based on appearance.

1 Kings 11:1 describes Solomon taking many foreign wives — mass intermarriage echoing the 'sons of God' taking wives 'of all which they chose.'

Matthew 24:38 directly references this pre-flood era: people were 'marrying and giving in marriage' right up until the flood came.

In 1 John 2:16, the lust of the flesh and eyes directly addresses the physical desire seen in the sons of God's attraction to beauty.
