Judges 14:8-10

New International Reader's Version

⁸ Some time later, he was going back to marry her. But he turned off the road to look at the lion’s dead body. He saw large numbers of bees and some honey in it. ⁹ He dug out the honey with his hands. He ate it as he walked along. Then he joined his parents again. He gave them some honey. They ate it too. But he didn’t tell them he had taken it from the lion’s dead body.

¹⁰ Samson’s father went down to see the woman. Samson had a feast prepared there. He was following the practice of young men when they married their wives.
