Judges 15:6-8
New American Standard Bible
6 Then the Philistines said, “Who did this?” And some said, “Samson, the son-in-law of the Timnite, because [a]he took his wife and gave her to his companion.” So the Philistines came up and (A)burned her and her father to death with fire. 7 Then Samson said to them, “If this is how you act, I will certainly take revenge on you, and only after that will I stop.” 8 So he struck them [b]ruthlessly with a great slaughter; and afterward he went down and lived in the cleft of the rock of Etam.

New International Version
6 When the Philistines asked, “Who did this?” they were told, “Samson, the Timnite’s son-in-law, because his wife was given to his companion.(A)”
So the Philistines went up and burned her(B) and her father to death.(C) 7 Samson said to them, “Since you’ve acted like this, I swear that I won’t stop until I get my revenge on you.” 8 He attacked them viciously and slaughtered many of them. Then he went down and stayed in a cave in the rock(D) of Etam.(E)
