New King James Version

Judges 15:7-11 New King James Version (NKJV)

7. Samson said to them, “Since you would do a thing like this, I will surely take revenge on you, and after that I will cease.”

8. So he attacked them hip and thigh with a great slaughter; then he went down and dwelt in the cleft of the rock of Etam.

9. Now the Philistines went up, encamped in Judah, and deployed themselves against Lehi.

10. And the men of Judah said, “Why have you come up against us?”So they answered, “We have come up to arrest Samson, to do to him as he has done to us.”

11. Then three thousand men of Judah went down to the cleft of the rock of Etam, and said to Samson, “Do you not know that the Philistines rule over us? What is this you have done to us?”And he said to them, “As they did to me, so I have done to them.”
