## Judges 14:8-9 in Context (Verses 5–12 KJV)
 
 [5 ](/kjv/judges/14/5) ¶ Then went Samson down, and his father and his mother, to Timnath, and came to the vineyards of Timnath: and, behold, a young lion roared against him.*
 
 [6 ](/kjv/judges/14/6) And the Spirit of the LORD came mightily upon him, and he rent him as he would have rent a kid, and *he had* nothing in his hand: but he told not his father or his mother what he had done.
 
 [7 ](/kjv/judges/14/7) And he went down, and talked with the woman; and she pleased Samson well.
 
 [8 ](/kjv/judges/14/8) ¶ And after a time he returned to take her, and he turned aside to see the carcase of the lion: and, behold, *there was* a swarm of bees and honey in the carcase of the lion.
 
 [9 ](/kjv/judges/14/9) And he took thereof in his hands, and went on eating, and came to his father and mother, and he gave them, and they did eat: but he told not them that he had taken the honey out of the carcase of the lion.
 
 [10 ](/kjv/judges/14/10) ¶ So his father went down unto the woman: and Samson made there a feast; for so used the young men to do.
 
 [11 ](/kjv/judges/14/11) And it came to pass, when they saw him, that they brought thirty companions to be with him.
 
 [12 ](/kjv/judges/14/12) ¶ And Samson said unto them, I will now put forth a riddle unto you: if ye can certainly declare it me within the seven days of the feast, and find *it* out, then I will give you thirty sheets and thirty change of garments:*
