7 He went down I say, and talked with the woman, which pleased the eyes of Samson. 8 And within a few days when he returned to receive her, he went aside to see the carcass of the Lyon. And behold there was a swarm of bees, and honey in the body of the Lyon. ⟨p. 218⟩9 And he toke thereof in his hands, and went eating, and came to his father & to his mother, and gave unto them, & they did eat: but he told not them that he had taken the honey out of the body of the Lion. 10 So his father went down unto the woman, & Samson made there a feast. For so used the young men to do. 11 And when they saw him, they took 30. companions, and they were with him.

In this place the Lion is not called Cepher as he was before, but Ariah: because that difference which I have before showed is not always observed. The matrimony of Samson is celebrated: wherein the providence of God prepareth occasion, whereby he should do some violence unto the Philistines. And that occasion was, because as he returned he remembered the Lyon which he had slain. He went a little aside, to look upon the carcass of the Lyon. And he found therein a swarm of bees, and a comb of honey. And this is such a strange thing as hath not been heard of: for it is in no other place, that I wot of, either showed or red, that bees have made honey in the carcass of a Lion.
