Samson Defeats The Philistines
6 When the Philistines asked who had done this, they learned that Samson had done it because his father-in-law, a man from Timnah, had given Samson's wife to a friend of Samson's. So the Philistines burned the woman to death and burned down her father's house. 7 Samson said to them, “Since you act like this, I will surely take revenge on you, but after that I will quit.” 8 He attacked them fiercely and killed many of them. After that he stayed in the cave in the cliff at Etam.
