4But his father and mother did not know that it was from the LORD, that he sought an occasion against the Philistines, for at that time the Philistines had dominion over Israel.
5Then Samson went down with his father and mother to Timnah, and came to the vineyards of Timnah. And behold, a young lion came roaring against him.
6And the Spirit of the LORD came mightily upon him, and he tore him as he would have torn a young goat, and he had nothing in his hand. But he did not tell his father or his mother what he had done.
7And he went down and talked with the woman, and she pleased Samson well.
8And after a time he returned to take her, and he turned aside to see the carcass of the lion. And behold, there was a swarm of bees and honey in the carcass of the lion.
9And he took some in his hands, and went on eating, and came to his father and mother, and he gave them some, and they ate. But he did not tell them that he had taken the honey out of the carcass of the lion.
10So his father went down to the woman, and Samson made there a feast, for so the young men used to do.
11And it happened, when they saw him, they brought thirty companions to be with him.
