"Out of the eater, something to eat;
out of the strong, something sweet."
That Is the riddle that Samson had told the Philistines at his wedding feast. Yes he got his girl. This is the first bet I think. Samson bet 30 linen garments and 30 changes of clothes, Samson has started out bad.
For three days they could not give the answer.
15 On the fourth day, they said to Samson's wife, "Coax your husband into explaining the riddle for us, or we will burn you and your father's household to death. Did you invite us here to rob us?" So I do not think that she was scared of those men it was her want to know the riddle also. And she did not care for Samson she wanted people to like her.
Then Samson's wife threw herself on him, sobbing, "You hate me! You don't really love me. You've given my people a riddle, but you haven't told me the answer." "I haven't even explained it to my father or mother," he replied, "so why should I explain it to you?" Well he did not know how to respect anyone or how to treat his own wife. But they are going to turn out wrong everyone can already tell.
So on the seventh day he finally told her, because she continued to press him. She in turn explained the riddle to her people.
18 Before sunset on the seventh day the men of the town said to him, "What is sweeter than honey? What is stronger than a lion?" Samson said to them, "If you had not plowed with my heifer, you would not have solved my riddle."
Well the one good thing Samson did was not divorce. He is living a bitter life. And he is not very smart , I will use this as a warning of what not to do.
