6. Then the Philistines said, Who has done this? And they answered, Samson, the son-in-law of the Timnite, because he had taken his wife, and given her to his companion. And the Philistines came up, and burnt her and her father with fire.
7. And Samson said unto them, Though you have done this, yet will I be avenged of you, and after that I will cease.
8. And he struck them hip and thigh with a great slaughter: and he went down and dwelt in the top of the rock of Etam.
9. Then the Philistines went up, and encamped in Judah, and spread themselves in Lehi.
10. And the men of Judah said, Why are you come up against us? And they answered, To bind Samson are we come up, to do to him as he has done to us.
11. Then three thousand men of Judah went to the top of the rock of Etam, and said to Samson, Know you not that the Philistines are rulers over us? what is this that you have done unto us? And he said unto them, As they did unto me, so have I done unto them.
