Surrounding context
Samson went and caught three hundred foxes, and took torches, and turned tail to tail, and put a torch in the middle between every two tails.
When he had set the torches on fire, he let them go into the standing grain of the Philistines, and burned up both the shocks and the standing grain, and also the olive groves.
Then the Philistines said, “Who has done this?” They said, “Samson, the son-in-law of the Timnite, because he has taken his wife, and given her to his companion.” The Philistines came up, and burned her and her father with fire.
Samson said to them, “If you behave like this, surely I will take revenge on you, and after that I will cease.”
He struck them hip and thigh with a great slaughter; and he went down and lived in the cave in Etam’s rock.
Then the Philistines went up, encamped in Judah, and spread themselves in Lehi.
The men of Judah said, “Why have you come up against us?” They said, “We have come up to bind Samson, to do to him as he has done to us.”
