Ambrose of Milan
Samson concluded that presenting his cherished bride with the hide of a wild animal was not suitable, as such occasions are best celebrated with joyful pastimes and festive garlands rather than with grim trophies. During his journey back, he discovered honeycomb within the carcass of a lion and chose to bring this sweetness as a gift for his parents and the young woman, believing that this was a fitting offering for the bride. He sampled the honey himself and shared it with his family, yet he kept the source of the gift a secret.
