*
And it came to pass on the seventh day ,
that they said unto Samsons wife ,
Entice thy husband ,
that he may declare unto us the riddle ,
lest we burn thee and thy fathers house with fire :
have ye called us to take that we have ?
is it not so ?
*
And Samsons wife wept before him ,
and said ,
Thou dost but hate me ,
and lovest me not :
thou hast put forth a riddle unto the children of my people ,
and hast not told it me .
And he said unto her ,
Behold ,
I have not told it my father nor my mother ,
and shall I tell it thee ?
*
And she wept before him the seven days ,
while their feast lasted :
and it came to pass on the seventh day ,
that he told her ,
because she lay sore upon him :
and she told the riddle to the children of her people .
*
And the men of the city said unto him on the seventh day before the sun went down ,
What is sweeter than honey ?
and what is stronger than a lion ?
And he said unto them ,
If ye had not plowed with my heifer ,
ye had not found out my riddle .
