Judges 14:8-10

Contemporary English Version

⁸ Later,^[a] Samson returned to Timnah for the wedding. And when he came near the place where the lion had attacked, he left the road to see what was left of the lion. He was surprised to see that bees were living in the lion's skeleton, and that they had made some honey. ⁹ He scooped up the honey in his hands and ate some of it as he walked along. When he got back to his parents, he gave them some of the honey, and they ate it too. But he didn't tell them he had found the honey in the skeleton of a lion.^[b]

¹⁰ While Samson's father went to make the final arrangements with the bride and her family, Samson threw a big party,^[c] as grooms^[d] usually did.
