God’s Word Translation
Judges 15:3-8
3Samson said to him, “This time I won’t be guilty when I get even with the Philistines, even though I’m going to do something terrible to them.”
4So Samson caught 300 foxes. He tied them together in pairs by their tails. Then he fastened a torch between their tails.
5He set the torches on fire and released the foxes in the Philistines’ grain fields. So he set fire to all their grain, whether it was stacked or in the fields. Their olive orchards also caught on fire.
6Some Philistines asked, “Who did this?” They were told, “Samson! He’s the son-in-law of the man at Timnah. Samson did it because the man at Timnah took Samson’s wife and gave her to his best man.” So the Philistines burned Samson’s wife and her father to death.
7Samson said to them, “If that’s how you’re going to act, I’ll get even with you before I stop.”
8So he attacked them violently and slaughtered them. Then he went to live in a cave in the cliff at Etam.
