Exegesis
The paired vav-consecutive imperfects vayyēlekh {וַיֵּלֶךְ | vayyēleḵ} and vayyitten {וַיִּתֵּן | vayyitten} sets a brisk sequence of movement and giving.
In context — Judges 14:9
He scraped it into his palms and continued on his way, eating as he went. When he came to his father and his mother, he gave them some, and they ate; but he did not tell them that he had scraped the honey from the carcass of the lion.
