(The answers of course are a lion and honey, referencing the honey that Samson ate from the lion’s body after he killed it). With the Lord by his side, Samson strikes down 30 Philistines and strips them from belongings. In Judges 15 line 14, again “The Spirit of the Lord came powerfully upon him” after he is tied up by the Judahs to be delivered to the Philistines. Once he sees the Philistines, the Lord gives him the power to tear through his bindings and strike down a thousand men with only the fresh jawbone of a donkey.
