Judges 15

⁶ “Who did this?” the Philistines demanded. “It was Samson, the son-in-law of the Timnite,” they were told. “For his wife was given to his companion.” So the Philistines went up and burned her and her father to death.

⁷ And Samson told them, “Because you have done this, I will not rest until I have taken vengeance upon you.”

⁸ And he struck them ruthlessly with a great slaughter, and then went down and stayed in the cave at the rock of Etam.

⁹ Then the Philistines went up, camped in Judah, and deployed themselves near the town of Lehi.

¹⁰ “Why have you attacked us?” said the men of Judah. The Philistines replied, “We have come to arrest Samson and pay him back for what he has done to us.”
