16 With such nagging she prodded him day after day until he was sick to death of it.
16 And when she pressed him hard with her words day after day, and urged him, his soul was vexed to death.
16 She kept at it day after day, nagging and tormenting him. Finally, he was fed up - he couldn't take another minute of it.
16 And it came to pass, when she pestered him daily with her words and pressed him, so that his soul was vexed to death,
16 She tormented him with her nagging day after day until he was sick to death of it.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Judges 16:16
Commentary on Judges 16:4-17
(Read Judges 16:4-17)
Samson had been more than once brought into mischief and danger by the love of women, yet he would not take warning, but is again taken in the same snare, and this third time is fatal. Licentiousness is one of the things that take away the heart. This is a deep pit into which many have fallen; but from which few have escaped, and those by a miracle of mercy, with the loss of reputation and usefulness, of almost all, except their souls. The anguish of the suffering is ten thousand times greater than all the pleasures of the sin.
