Judges 14:8-11
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. 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 carcass of the lion.
The Riddle: He used the honey from the carcass to answer a riddle he posed to the wedding guests: "What is sweeter than honey? And what is stronger than a lion?".
The Secret: Samson did not reveal to anyone that the honey came from the lion's body, which was a violation of his Nazirite vow.
The Conflict: The guests eventually solved the riddle, leading to the "honey in the lion" event becoming a source of contention and anger for Samson.
