George Leo Haydock, on Judg 14:18

“And they on the seventh day before the sun went down said to him: What is sweeter than honey? and what is stronger than a lion? And he said to them: If you had not ploughed with my heifer, you had not found out my riddle.”

“Down, at which time the day ended among the Jews. — Heifer. This proverbial expression means, that another’s property had been used against himself; (Delrio adag.162) or it may intimate, that improper liberties had been taken with Samson’s wife, (Calmet) as her so readily taking one of them for her husband, (ver. 20) might lead us to suspect. (Haydock) — The Greek and Latin authors speak of a faithless wife in similar terms. (Theognis. lviii., &c.)”
