Gjyqtarët 14:9

Ai mori pak mjaltë në dorë dhe filloi ta hajë ndërsa po ecte; kur arriti tek i ati dhe tek e ëma, u dha edhe atyre dhe ata e hëngrën; por nuk u tha që e kishte marrë mjaltin nga trupi i luanit.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And he took thereof in his hands, and went on eating,.... Josephus k says he took three honeycombs, he means three pieces of the honeycomb, and ate the honey as he went along to Timnath; which he might do without touching the carcass of the lion, and defiling himself thereby, which, as a Nazarite, he was more especially to be careful of:

and came to his father and mother, and he gave them, and they did eat; who went down with him to the consummation of the marriage, and from whom he had turned a little aside; and now overtook them, and to whom he gave some of his honey to eat, which, having travelled some way, might be grateful to them. The above writer takes no notice of this, but says he gave of it to the young woman whom he betrothed, when he came to her; but of that the text makes no mention:

but he told not them that he had taken the honey out of the carcass of the lion; either lest they should scruple eating it, being taken out of such a carcass; or that the riddle, which perhaps he meditated as he came along eating the honey, might not be found out, which might more easily have been done, had this fact been known by any.

k Ut supra. (Antiqu. l. 5. c. 8. sect. 6.)
