Judges 14:9
"After a while he returned to take her, and he went over to see the carcass of the lion; and behold, there was a swarm of bees in the body of the lion, and honey."
Key Reflection
After Samson returned to take his wife, he went to inspect the carcass of the lion he had killed earlier, only to find a swarm of bees and honey inside. This detail would have highlighted the miraculous nature of the event, as bees typically do not nest in decayed flesh, and such an unusual sight would have been both surprising and significant to Samson’s original audience, reinforcing his role as someone with divine favor or special abilities.
