3. And Samson replied unto them, Now I shall be blameless before the Philistines if I do them injury.
4. And Samson went and caught three hundred foxes, and took torches, and turning them tail to tail, he put a torch between every two tails.
5. Then, setting the torches on fire, he let them go into the standing grain of the Philistines and burnt up both the shocks and also the standing grain with the vineyards and oliveyards.
6. Then the Philistines said, Who has done this? And they answered, Samson, the son-in-law of the Timnite, because he had taken his wife and given her to his companion. And the Philistines came up and burnt her and her father with fire.
7. And Samson said unto them, Though ye have done this, yet I will be avenged of you, and after that I will cease.
8. And he smote them hip and thigh with a great slaughter, and he went down and dwelt in the cleft of the rock Etam.
9. Then the Philistines went up and pitched camp in Judah and spread themselves in Lehi.
10. And the men of Judah said, Why have ye come up against us? And they answered, We have come up to bind Samson, to do to him as he has done to us.
