Three Hundred Foxes and a Jawbone - The Book of Judges

In this Bible Story, Samson’s strength and pettiness are on display. He develops a rivalry with the Philistines over his wife, and out of anger and revenge he burns their crops and slaughters 1,000 of their men with the jawbone of a donkey. This story is inspired by Judges 15. Go to BibleinaYear.com and learn the Bible in a Year. Today's Bible verse is Judges 15:15 from the King James Version. Episode 68: Samson, missing the physical pleasures of his wife, goes back to her house to claim her, but her father, thinking that he had abandoned her, gave her to his best man instead. So Samson went out, caught 300 foxes, and used their tails and wild energy to set fire to the crops of the Philistines as revenge. But revenge, as it so often does even today, only escalated the situation, and the Philistines retaliated back by killing his former wife and her family. Thus began the long war between Samson and his enemies. Hear the Bible come to life as Pastor Jack Graham leads you through the official BibleinaYear.com podcast.
