Read Judges 15.1-8. In 15.1-8: Samson's revenge. In verse 1: This may have been a form of marriage in which the woman continued to live with her parents. In verse 2; That he had rejected her (divorced her) was a reasonable conclusion in light of 14.19. Ancient readers would have seen the offer of her younger sister as a sensible compromise. In verse 4: The foxes are a way of spreading the fire widely and quickly. In verse 6: This was precisely the fate Samson's wife had hoped to avoid (14.15). In verse 8: The meaning of hip and thigh is uncertain, but implies ferocious physical combat. Comments or Questions..
