 JUDGES 15

Samson attaches torches to the tails of three hundred foxes, which run through the fields of the Philistines, burning all in their wake. The Philistines burn Samson's wife and father-in-law to death. In revenge, Samson slaughters many more Philistines, and then takes refuge in a cave in the rock of Etam. An army of Philistines demands from the men of Judah to deliver them Samson. With Samson's consent, they tie him with two new ropes and are about to hand him over to the Philistines when he breaks free. Using the jawbone of a donkey, he slays one thousand Philistines.
