Why was there honey inside a dead lion?
In Judges 14, Samson killed a lion with his bare hands.
Later, he returned to the animal and discovered something unexpected: bees and honey inside the lion’s carcass.
Judges 14
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.
Judges 14:6, KJV
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.
Judges 14:8, KJV
The Bible doesn’t directly explain this as the meaning of the honey, but the contrast is certainly worth thinking about.
