Judges 14:9

And he scraped it out into his hand and went, and ate as he went, and came to his father and mother and gave it to them, and they ate. But he did not tell them that he had scraped the honey out of the lion's body. [Once again, Samson follows his desires. We can imagine how he casually takes what he wants and then goes and eats. He also gives some to his parents, which makes them ritually unclean. His parents had consecrated him, and now he desecrates them without them even knowing it.]

καὶ ἐξεῖλεν αὐτὸ εἰς χεῖρας αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐπορεύετο πορευόμενος καὶ ἐσθίων καὶ ἐπορεύθη πρὸς τὸν πατέρα αὐτοῦ καὶ τὴν μητέρα αὐτοῦ καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτοῖς καὶ ἔφαγον καὶ οὐκ ἀπήγγειλεν αὐτοῖς ὅτι ἀπὸ τοῦ στόματος τοῦ λέοντος ἐξεῖλεν τὸ μέλι
