    3Samson said concerning them, Now shall I be blameless toward the Philistines, though I cause them harm.

    4Samson went and caught three hundred foxes, and took torches, and turned them tail to tail, and put a torch between every two tails.

    5When 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, as well as the vineyards and olives.

    6Then the Philistines said, Who has done this? They answered, Samson, the son-in-law of the Timnite, because he had taken his wife and given her to his companion. The Philistines came up and burned her and her father with fire.

    12They said to him, We have come down to bind you, so we may deliver you into the hand of the Philistines. Samson said to them, Swear to me that you will not attack me yourselves.
