⁷ Then he went down to the city and talked to the Philistine woman, and ·he liked her [^Lshe was right in Samson’s eyes].

⁸ Several days later Samson went back to ·marry [get; take] her. On his way he went over to look at the body of the dead lion and ·found [^Tbehold, there was] a swarm of bees and honey in it. ⁹ Samson ·got [scooped; scraped] some of the honey with his hands and walked along eating it. When he came to his parents, he gave some to them. They ate it, too, but Samson did not tell them he had ·taken [scooped; scraped] the honey from the body of the dead lion [^Ctouching the carcass violated Samson’s Nazirite vow; 13:5, 7; Num. 6:6].
