Guess Who...Encounters with Lions



Here is a little challenge for you. I am going to describe some scenarios/people in which a lion was killed. Try to guess who I am talking about.


Guess Who Scenario #1
A young lion came roaring against this person, but the Spirit of the Lord enabled him to tear it apart like a young goat with nothing in his hands. After going to visit with a girl, he came back to see the carcass of it and a swarm of bees and honey inhabited it. He took it out and began eating it sharing it with his parents...but he told them nothing about it. That began a riddle "out of the eater came something to eat, and out of the strong came something sweet" in which he challenged people to figure it out for thirty linen garments and thirty changes of clothing.


Guess Who Scenario #2
A lamb was in the mouth of a lion and this person caught the lion by its beard, struck and killed it. He also was delivered from the paw of a bear. He put on armor right after this conversation in which he is telling the lion story, but couldn't walk in them so he took them off (this one might be a little easier).

Guess Who Scenario #3
He was the son of Jehoiada the son of a valiant man from Kabzeel who had done many deeds. He killed two lion-like heroes of Moab and had also gone down and killed a lion in the midst of a pit on a snowy day.





And the answers are.....
#1 SAMSON (see Numbers Chapter 14)
#2 DAVID (see 1 Samuel 17)
#3 BENAIAH (see 2 Samuel 23:20)

Added Bonus for you to read:

The above are stories of people killing the lion, but below I also listed instances in which a lion took the life of someone.
Disobedient prophet (1 Kings 13:24-28)
Unnamed person (1 Kings 20:36)
