8. A few days later Samson went back to marry her. On the way he left the road to look at the lion he had killed, and he was surprised to find a swarm of bees and some honey inside the dead body.
9. He scraped the honey out into his hands and ate it as he walked along. Then he went to his father and mother and gave them some. They ate it, but Samson did not tell them that he had taken the honey from the dead body of a lion.
10. His father went to the woman's house, and Samson gave a banquet there. This was a custom among the young men.
11. When the Philistines saw him, they sent thirty young men to stay with him.
14. He said,“Out of the eater came something to eat;Out of the strong came something sweet.”Three days later they had still not solved the riddle.
15. On the fourth day they said to Samson's wife, “Trick your husband into telling us what the riddle means. If you don't, we'll set fire to your father's house and burn you with it. You two invited us so that you could rob us, didn't you?”
