On the fourth day they said to Samson's wife: Trick your husband into telling us what the riddle means. If you do not, we will burn your father's house with you in it. Did you invite us here to rob us? Samson's wife approached him in tears and said: You do not love me! You just hate me! You told my friends a riddle and did not tell me it's meaning! He said: I have not told my father and mother. Why should I tell you? She cried about it for the whole seven days of the feast. She nagged him so that on the seventh day he told her what the riddle meant. Then she told the Philistines.
