2Her father said, I most assuredly thought that you had utterly hated her; therefore I gave her to your companion: isn`t her younger sister more beautiful than she? Please take her, instead.
3Samson said to them, This time shall I be blameless in regard of the Philistines, when I do them a mischief.
4Samson went and caught three hundred foxes, and took firebrands, and turned tail to tail, and put a firebrand in the midst between every two tails.
5When he had set the brands on fire, he let them go into the standing grain of the Philistines, and burnt up both the shocks and the standing grain, and also the olive groves.
6Then the Philistines said, Who has done this? They said, Samson, the son-in-law of the Timnite, because he has taken his wife, and given her to his companion. The Philistines came up, and burnt her and her father with fire.
7Samson said to them, If you do after this manner, surely I will be avenged of you, and after that I will cease.
8He struck them hip and thigh with a great slaughter: and he went down and lived in the cleft of the rock of Etam.
