And Samson said of them, I shall be more blameless, this time, than the Philistines, - though I should do them a mischief. So Samson went, and caught three hundred jackals, - and took torches, and turned tail to tail, and put one torch between the two tails, in the midst. And, when he had set fire to the torches, he let them go into the standing corn of the Philistines, - and set fire, both to the stack of sheaves and to the standing corn, and besides to the olive plantation.

Then said the Philistines - Who hath done this? And they said - Samson, son-in-law of the Timnite, because he hath taken his wife, and given her to his companion. So the Philistines went up and burned her and her father, with fire. And Samson said to them, Though ye do the like of this, yet will I be avenged upon you, and, afterwards, will I cease. So he smote them, leg on thigh, with a great smiting, - and went down and dwelt in a cleft of the crag Etam.
