Samson takes a bride from among the Philistines.  On his way down, he encounters a lion that he slays.  He revisits the scene of the incident some time later and finds a bee hive with honey in the carcass of the lion.  This becomes the basis for a riddle he will share at the wedding feast. Unbeknownst to him, this will set in motion a chain of events that will put him at war with the Philistines.  Ultimately, God is in control and sovereign over all of these events!
