Judges 15:4-6
1599 Geneva Bible
4 ¶ And Samson went out, and took three hundred foxes, and took firebrands, and turned them tail to tail, and put a firebrand in the midst between two tails.
5 And when he had set the brands on fire, he sent them out into the standing corn of the Philistines, and burnt up both the [a]ricks and the standing corn, with the vineyards and olives.
6 Then the Philistines said, Who hath done this? And they answered, Samson the son-in-law of the [b]Timnite, because he had taken his wife, and given her to his companion. Then the Philistines came up and [c]burnt her and her father with fire.
