  1. Animal magnetism<\/span><\/i>. Samson displays double bravery: he rips apart the lion that attacks him \u201cas one would a goat\u201d (verse 6), and he takes the honey with no fear of the angry bees (verse 8).<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. 30 companions<\/span>. Who are these guys? Some nice Philistine youths come to celebrate? Or is it as the Septuagint has it, in verse 11, not that they came when the family saw Samson (<\/span>kir\u2019otam<\/span>), but that they were enlisted as a response to their fear (<\/span>byir\u2019otam<\/span>), to keep an eye on Samson, just to be sure…<\/span><\/i><\/li>\n
  3. Quite a riddle<\/span><\/i>! Is it even possible to solve the riddle without the context of the lion and the honey? The young men didn\u2019t succeed, though there are commentators woh do think it is possible. Either way, a lovely phrase in Hebrew comes from this episode: <\/span>me-\u2019az yatza matok<\/span><\/i>, \u201cfrom strength comes sweetness.\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. History will repeat itself<\/span><\/i>. Remember the following details: a Philistine woman, national loyalty, emotional blackmail, until he can\u2019t take it anymore, and then giving in…<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. The source of strength<\/span><\/i>. \u201cThe spirit of the LORD gripped him\u201d both when he overcame the lion, and when he killed the Ashkelonians.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
