But he didn’t tell his father and mother what he had done. ⁷ Then he went down and talked to the woman, and she looked fine to Samson. ⁸ When he came back later to marry^[b] her, he turned aside to observe the lion’s carcass. Amazingly, there was a swarm of bees in the body of the lion, complete with honey.
