After three days, they were unable to explain the riddle.On the fourth day they said to Samson’s wife,“ Persuade your husband to explain the riddle to us, or we will burn you and your father’s family to death. Did you invite us here to rob us?”So Samson’s wife came to him, weeping, and said,“ You hate me and don’t love me! You told my people the riddle, but haven’t explained it to me.”“ Look,” he said,“ I haven’t even explained it to my father or mother, so why should I explain it to you?”She wept the whole seven days of the feast, and at last, on the seventh day, he explained it to her, because she had nagged him so much. Then she explained it to her people.
