16 And the wife of Samson wept on him and said, “You have only hated me, and you have not loved me. You have posed a riddle to the sons of my people, and to me you have not explained it.” And he said to her, “Behold, to my father and to my mother I have not explained it, and to you should I explain it?” 17 And she wept on him the seven days, while their feast lasted. And it came to pass on the seventh day that he told her, because she had pressed him so much, and she explained the riddle to the sons of her people. 18 And the men of the city said to 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 to them, “If you? had not plowed with my heifer, You? would not have solved my riddle.” 19 And the Spirit of YHWH came mightily upon him, and he went down to Ashkelon and killed thirty of their men and took their apparel, and he gave the changes to those who had explained the riddle. And his anger was kindled, and he went up to the house of his father. 20 And the wife of Samson was unto his companion who had attended to him. Judges 14:16-20, Berean Literal Bible. Public domain.
