And they said, Samson, the son-in-law of the Timnite, because he took his wife and gave her to his companion. So the Philistines came up and burned her and her father with fire. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/judges/15-7.htm" target="_top"><b>7</b></a></span>Samson said to them, Since you act like this, I will surely take revenge on you, but after that I will quit. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/judges/15-8.htm" target="_top"><b>8</b></a></span>He struck them ruthlessly with a great slaughter; and he went down and lived in the cleft of the rock of Etam.<p>       <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/judges/15-9.htm" target="_top"><b>9</b></a></span>Then the Philistines went up and camped in Judah, and spread out in Lehi. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/judges/15-10.htm" target="_top"><b>10</b></a></span>The men of Judah said, Why have you come up against us?
