10So his father went down to the woman, and Samson made a feast there, for that is what the young men did.

11And when they saw him, they took thirty companions, and they were with him.

12And Samson said to them, “Please let me put a riddle to you. If you indeed tell it to me within the seven days of the feast and solve it, then I will give you thirty linen garments and thirty changes of clothes.”

13But if you cannot tell me, then you must give me thirty linen garments and thirty changes of clothes.” And they said to him, “Tell your riddle, and let us hear it.”

14And he said to them, “Out of the eater came food, and out of the strong came sweetness.” But they could not tell the riddle for three days.
