Contextual Overview
1 Maar 'n tyd daarna het Simson in die dae van die koringoes sy vrou besoek met 'n bokkie en gesê: Laat ek na my vrou in die kamer ingaan; maar haar vader het hom nie toegelaat om in te gaan nie. 2 En haar vader het gesê: Ek het vir seker gedink dat jy niks om haar gee nie; daarom het ek haar aan jou metgesel gegee; is haar jonger suster nie mooier as sy nie? Laat sy tog joue word in haar plek. 3 Maar Simson het vir hulle gesê: Hierdie keer is ek onskuldig teenoor die Filistyne as ek hulle kwaad aandoen. 4 Toe gaan Simson weg en vang drie honderd jakkalse; en hy neem fakkels en draai stert teen stert, en sit 'n fakkel in die middel tussen elke twee sterte in; 5 en hy steek die fakkels aan die brand en los hulle in die ongesnyde graan van die Filistyne; en hy het die miede sowel as die ongesnyde graan en die wingerde en olyfbome aan die brand gesteek. 6 Toe vra die Filistyne: Wie het dit gedoen? En hulle sê: Simson, die skoonseun van die Timniet, omdat dié sy vrou geneem en haar aan sy metgesel gegee het. En die Filistyne het opgetrek en haar en haar vader se huis met vuur verbrand. 7 Daarop sê Simson vir hulle: As julle so maak, sal ek sekerlik nie rus voordat ek my op julle gewreek het nie. 8 En hy het hulle lendelam geslaan, 'n groot slag. En hy het afgegaan en gebly in die rotskloof van Etam.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And Samson said unto them,.... After they had burnt his wife and her father in their dwelling house, by which they thought to appease him, being afraid of him:
though ye have done this, yet will I be avenged of you; not for burning his wife and father-in-law; his sense is, that though they had done this, in order to ingratiate themselves with him, yet he should not stop on this account, but be avenged on them, not for private injuries done to him, or any that had been in connection with him, but for public injuries done to Israel, and their oppression of them:
and after that I will cease; when he had taken full vengeance on them, and not before.
