Judges 15:3-8

3Samson said to them, “This time I shall be blameless in regard to the Philistines when I do them harm.”

4So Samson went and caught three hundred foxes, and took torches and turning the foxes tail to tail, he put a torch between each pair of tails.

5When he had set the torches ablaze, he let the foxes go into the standing grain of the Philistines, and he burned up the heap of sheaves and the standing grain, along with the vineyards and olive groves.

6Then the Philistines said, “Who did this?” And they were told, “Samson, the son-in-law of the Timnite, because he took Samson’s wife and gave her to his [chief] companion [at the wedding feast].” So the Philistines came up and burned her and her father with fire.

7Samson said to them, “If this is the way you act, be certain that I will take revenge on you, and [only] after that I will stop.”

8Then he struck them without mercy, a great slaughter; and he went down and lived in the cleft of the rock of Etam.
