Judges 15:3-8

3Samson said, ‘This time I will not be guilty when I punish the Philistines!’

4So he went out and he caught 300 foxes. He tied the foxes in pairs by their tails. He tied some dry grass to each pair of tails.

5Then he lit the grass with fire. He made the foxes run through the fields where the wheat was growing. The fire destroyed all the Philistines' crops, whether they had already cut it down or not. The fire also destroyed their vines and their olive trees.

6The Philistines asked, ‘Who did this?’ People said to them, ‘It was Samson, the man who married the young woman in Timnah. He did it because her father gave her to Samson's special friend instead of Samson.’ So the Philistines went and burned the man and his daughter to death.

7Samson said to them, ‘Because you have done this, I will punish you. I will not stop until your punishment is complete.’

8He attacked them with great strength. He killed many of them. After that, Samson went to live in a cave in the rock of Etam.
