The Bible strongman Samson's riddle about a lion and honey

In the Bible, strongman Samson kills a lion barehanded. Later, bees make honey inside its body. He tells no one.

At his wedding, he bets his guests over a riddle: "Out of the eater, something to eat; out of the strong, something sweet."

Stuck, the guests pressure his bride. She begs until Samson tells her the answer. She tells the guests, and they win.
