Judges 15:3-8
3Samson then said to them, “This time I will have been blameless regarding the Philistines when I do them harm.” 4And Samson went and caught three hundred jackals, and took torches, and turned the jackals tail to tail and put one torch in the middle between two tails. 5When he had set fire to the torches, he released the jackals into the standing grain of the Philistines and set fire to both the bundled heaps and the standing grain, along with the vineyards and olive groves. 6Then the Philistines said, “Who did this?” And some said, “Samson, the son-in-law of the Timnite, because 1he took his wife and gave her to his companion.” So the Philistines came up and 2burned her and her father to death with fire. 7Then Samson said to them, “If this is how you act, I will certainly take revenge on you, and only after that will I stop.” 8So he struck them 3ruthlessly with a great slaughter; and afterward he went down and lived in the cleft of the rock of Etam.
