UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

{for} the seven days {during} which the feast was to them

(Some words not found in UHB: and,wept on/upon/above=him/it seven the=days which/who it_became to/for=them the,feast and=he/it_was in_the=day the=seventh and,told to/for=her/it that/for/because/then/when nagged,him and,explained the,riddle to,sons people,her )

Since the author says in 14:15 that it was only on the “seventh day” of the feast that the Philistine young men came to Samson’s bride and threatened her, he is apparently using the whole period here, seven days, to represent the time that remained in that period. Alternate translation: “for the remainder of the seven days during which they held their feast”

Note 2 topic: writing-newevent

And it happened

The author is using this phrase to introduce a new development in the story. Use a word, phrase, or other method in your language that is natural for introducing a new event.

Note 3 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

that he declared {it} to her, for she had pressed him

If it would be more natural in your language, you could reverse the order of these phrases, since the second phrase gives the reason for the result that the first phrase describes. Alternate translation: “that, because she had pressed him, he declared it to her”
