Judges 15:5-8 New English Translation (NET)

5. He lit the torches and set the jackals loose in the Philistines’ standing grain. He burned up the grain heaps and the standing grain, as well as the vineyards and olive groves.

6. The Philistines asked, “Who did this?” They were told, “Samson, the Timnite’s son-in-law, because the Timnite took Samson’s bride and gave her to his best man.” So the Philistines went up and burned her and her father.

7. Samson said to them, “Because you did this, I will get revenge against you before I quit fighting.”

8. He struck them down and defeated them. Then he went down and lived for a time in the cave in the cliff of Etam.
