Expanded Bible

¹⁴ Samson said,

After three days, they had not ·found the answer [solved the riddle].

¹⁵ On the fourth^[a] day they said to Samson’s wife, “Did you invite us here to make us poor? ·Trick [Entice; Coax] your husband into telling us the answer to the riddle. If you don’t, we will burn you and everyone in your father’s house.”

¹⁶ So Samson’s wife went to him, crying, and said, “You hate me! You don’t really love me! You told ·my people [^Lthe sons of my people] a riddle, but you won’t tell me the answer.”

Samson said, “I haven’t even told my father or mother. Why should I tell you?”
