International Standard Version
8 When he came back later to marry[a] 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. 9 So he scraped some out into his hands and went on his way, eating all the while. When he met his father and mother, he gave some[b] to them, and they ate it, too. But he didn’t inform them that he had scraped the honey from the carcass of the lion.
