As was the custom in Philistine Samson provided the food and the wine Thirty companions, a must for the time, To guest the wedding banquet
"Now I have a riddle," Samson began "Tell me the answer if you can Make your replies within the week To qualify for prizes"
"But if you cannot answer me The prizes I am naming Thirty sets of linen garments Shall be mine from you Not yours from me"
"Out of the eater something to eat Out of the strong something sweet" For three days the people laboured in vain They could not find the answer
But those deceitful Philistines Making threats of violence Pressurised his wife and her family 'til she coaxed the answer out of him
(What is stronger than a lion ?) (What is sweeter than honey ?) Out of the eater something to eat (What is stronger than a lion ?) Out of the strong something sweet (What is sweeter than honey ?) Out of the eater (What is stronger [If you'd not ploughed something to eat than a lion ?) with my heifer] Out of the strong (What is sweeter [You would not have something sweet than honey ?) found the answer] Out of the eater (What is stronger [If you'd not ploughed something to eat than a lion ?) with my heifer] Out of the strong (What is sweeter [You would not have something sweet than honey ?) found the answer]
