Judges 15:5-7
New American Standard Bible 1995
5 When he had set fire to the torches, he released [a]the foxes into the standing grain of the Philistines, thus burning up both the shocks and the standing grain, along with the vineyards and groves. 6 Then the Philistines said, “Who did this?” And they said, “Samson, the son-in-law of the Timnite, because [b]he took his wife and gave her to his companion.” So the Philistines came up and (A)burned her and her father with fire. 7 Samson said to them, “Since you act like this, I will surely take revenge on you, but after that I will quit.”
