So His father went down to the woman. And Samson gave a feast there, for young men used to do so. Judges 14:10
So His father went down to the woman. And Samson gave a feast there, for young men used to do so. Judges 14:10
Samson posed a riddle to the men at the wedding feast saying, "If you can solve it, I will give you thirty garments and thirty changes of clothes, but if not then you will give them to me."
They had seven days to solve the riddle but came up with nothing, so they threatened Samson's wife to entice Samson to explain the riddle or they would burn her family's house down with her in it. Keep in mind the Philistines were a blood thirsty brood of murdering devils and Samson was anointed to destroy them! (Note: the word Palestine is derived from the Hebrew word, Philistine.)
The big man obviously had a soft spot for women and a spirit of lust so when she cried on his shoulder and said he didn't love her he spilled his guts and told her the answer to the riddle! Having to give the men their prize the Lord anointed Samson to kill thirty of their men took their clothes and gave it to the men who threatened his wife, and his anger was aroused greatly!
And Samson's wife was given to his companion, who had been his best man. Judges 14:20
