Judges 15:3-8

3And SamsonH8123 saidH559 unto them, This timeH6471 shall I be blameless in regard of the PhilistinesH6430, when I do them a mischief. 4And SamsonH8123 went and caughtH3920 threeH7969 hundredH3967 foxesH7776, and tookH3947 firebrands, and turnedH6437 tailH2180 to tailH2180, and putH7760 a firebrand in the midstH8432 between every twoH8147 tailsH2180. 5And when he had set the brands on fireH784, he let them goH7971 into the standingH7054 grainH7054 of the PhilistinesH6430, and burnt up both the shocks and the standingH7054 grainH7054, and also the oliveyards. 6Then the PhilistinesH6430 saidH559, Who hath done this? And they saidH559, SamsonH8123, the son-in-law of the Timnite, because he hath takenH3947 his wifeH802, and givenH5414 her to his companionH4828. And the PhilistinesH6430 cameH5927 up, and burnt her and her fatherH1 with fireH784. 7And SamsonH8123 saidH559 unto them, If ye do after this manner, surely I will be avengedH5358 of you, and after that I will ceaseH2308. 8And he smote them hip and thighH3409 with a greatH1419 slaughterH4347: and he wentH3381 downH3381 and dweltH3427 in the cleftH5585 of the rockH5553 of EtamH5862.
