ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Judges 14

Alright kiddo, today we're going to talk about a story from the Bible, called Judges 14. In this story, there was a man named Samson who was very strong and had long hair. He liked to go on adventures and do things that no one else could do.

One day, Samson went on a trip and he saw a woman that he really liked. She was from a different tribe of people, but Samson didn't care. He wanted to marry her, so he went to talk to her parents.

While he was talking to her parents, a lion came out and attacked him. But Samson was so strong that he was able to kill the lion with his bare hands. He didn't tell anyone about it though, it was his little secret.

Samson and the woman got married and had a big party. At the party, Samson made a bet with some of the other guests. He asked them to come up with a riddle, and if they couldn't figure it out, they would have to give him some nice clothes. But if they did figure it out, Samson would have to give them some nice clothes.

The riddle was "Out of the eater came something to eat, out of the strong came something sweet." The guests couldn't figure it out, so they asked Samson's wife for help. She begged and begged Samson to tell her the answer, and eventually he did.

When Samson found out that his wife had told the guests the answer, he was very angry. He thought that she had betrayed him, so he left and didn't come back for a while.

But eventually Samson forgave his wife and they got back together. They even had a baby boy. That's the end of the story, kiddo. It teaches us about trust and the consequences of telling someone's secrets.
