Judges 15:1-5

Samson Strikes Down the Philistines

Now it happened that after a while, in the time of the wheat harvest, Samson visited his wife ^awith a young goat and said, “I will go in to my wife in her room.” But her father did not let him enter. 2 And her father said, “I really thought that you hated her intensely; so I ^agave her to your companion. Is not her younger sister better than she? Please let her be yours ¹instead.” 3 Samson then said to them, “This time I shall be innocent in regard to the Philistines when I do them harm.” 4 So Samson went and caught 300 foxes and took torches and turned the foxes tail to tail and put one torch in the middle between two tails. 5 Then he set fire to the torches and sent ¹the foxes into the standing grain of the Philistines. So he caused both the shocks and the standing grain, along with the vineyards and groves, to burn.
