Judges 15:6 in Context — Judges 15

4 Samson s’en alla. Il attrapa trois cents renards, et prit des flambeaux; puis il tourna queue contre queue, et mit un flambeau entre deux queues, au milieu.

5 Il alluma les flambeaux, lâcha les renards dans les blés des Philistins, et embrasa les tas de gerbes, le blé sur pied, et jusqu’aux plantations d’oliviers.

6 Les Philistins dirent: Qui a fait cela? On répondit: Samson, le gendre du Thimnien, parce que celui-ci lui a pris sa femme et l’a donnée à son compagnon. Et les Philistins montèrent, et ils la brûlèrent, elle et son père.

7 Samson leur dit: Est-ce ainsi que vous agissez? Je ne cesserai qu’après m’être vengé de vous.

8 Il les battit rudement, dos et ventre; puis il descendit, et se retira dans la caverne du rocher d’Étam.
