ચોથા દિવસે તેઓએ સામસૂનની પત્નીને કહ્યું, “તારા પતિને ફોસલાવ કે જેથી તે અમને ઉખાણાનો જવાબ કહે નહિ તો અમે તને તથા તારા પિતાના ઘરનાંને બાળી મૂકીશું. શું તેં અમને અહીં લૂંટી લેવાને બોલાવ્યા છે?”

सातवें दिन उन्होंने शिमशोन की पत्नी से कहा, “अपने पति को फुसला कि वह हमें पहेली का अर्थ बताए, नहीं तो हम तुझे तेरे पिता के घर समेत आग में जलाएँगे। क्या तुम लोगों ने हमारा धन लेने के लिये हमें नेवता दिया है? क्या यही बात नहीं है?”

14He said to them, “Out of the eater came out food. Out of the strong came out sweetness.” They couldn’t in three days declare the riddle.

15On the seventh day, they said to Samson’s wife, “Entice your husband, that he may declare to us the riddle, lest we burn you and your father’s house with fire. Have you called us to impoverish us? Isn’t that so?”

16Samson’s wife wept before him, and said, “You just hate me, and don’t love me. You’ve told a riddle to the children of my people, and haven’t told it to me.” He said to her, “Behold, I haven’t told my father or my mother, so why should I tell you?”

17She wept before him the seven days, while their feast lasted; and on the seventh day, he told her, because she pressed him severely; and she told the riddle to the children of her people.
