Judges 15:8 in Context — Judges 15

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.

9 Alors les Philistins se mirent en marche, campèrent en Juda, et s’étendirent jusqu’à Léchi.

10 Les hommes de Juda dirent: Pourquoi êtes-vous montés contre nous? Ils répondirent: Nous sommes montés pour lier Samson, afin de le traiter comme il nous a traités.
