Judges 14:6-8
Lexham English Bible
6 And the Spirit of Yahweh rushed upon him, and he tore the lion apart as one might tear apart a male kid goat (he was bare-handed).[a] But he did not tell his father and mother what he had done. 7 Then he went down and talked to the woman, and she pleased Samson.[b] 8 And he returned after awhile to marry her,[c] and he turned aside to see the carcass of the lion, and there was a swarm of wild honey bees in the body of the lion, and honey.

Judges 14:6-8
New International Version
6 The Spirit of the Lord came powerfully upon him(A) so that he tore the lion apart(B) with his bare hands as he might have torn a young goat. But he told neither his father nor his mother what he had done. 7 Then he went down and talked with the woman, and he liked her.
8 Some time later, when he went back to marry her, he turned aside to look at the lion’s carcass, and in it he saw a swarm of bees and some honey.
