Judg 14:15 | MHM | STEP | v. 15–17 : When the Philistines could not solve the riddle, they pressured Samson’s wife to find out the answer. They threatened to burn her and her family if she did not help them (Judges 14:15 ). Out of fear, she pleaded with Samson until he finally revealed the answer. She then betrayed him by telling her people (Judges 14:16-17 ). This shows how fear and manipulation can destroy trust, and it highlights the danger of alliances with those who do not share godly values.
