Ambrose of Milan, on Judg 14:8

Ambrose of Milan · A.D. 339–397
Judg 14:8 · Douay-Rheims
“And after some days returning to take her, he went aside to see the carcass of the lion, and behold there was a swarm of bees in the mouth of the lion and a honeycomb.”
On this verse:
“On his returning by the same road he found an honeycomb in the belly of the lion, and carried it off as a gift to the maiden and her parents; for such gifts befit a bride. And having first tasted the honey, he gave them the comb to eat, but was silent as to whence it came.”
