Judges 15:1-5 - I will really harm them

15:1,2

We now come to more of Samson’s antics. He seems to be in denial about the situation with his wife-to-be, or ignorant of the fact that her father gave her to someone else. So the father would not let Samson go in. He then explained to Samson that he thought Samson now hated the woman, and so gave her to another man. He then offered Samson her younger sister, saying she was actually more attractive.  We need to appreciate that marriage customs were very different in those days.

15:3-5

Samson seems to have accepted the situation, or seen it primarily as an excuse to exact more vengeance on the Philistines. This time he collects three hundred foxes, ties them together in pairs, and ties a torch to each pair. After that he lets them loose on the Philistines fields, thus unleashing wanton destruction.
