Und er nahm davon in seine Hand und aß davon unterwegs und ging zu seinem Vater und zu seiner Mutter und gab ihnen, und sie aßen auch. Er verriet ihnen aber nicht, daß er den Honig von dem Aas des Löwen genommen hatte.
Da nahm er ihn heraus in seine Hände, und ging und aß im Gehen; und er ging zu seinem Vater und zu seiner Mutter und gab ihnen, und sie aßen; aber er tat ihnen nicht kund, daß er den Honig aus dem Körper des Löwen herausgenommen hatte.

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.)
