Samson went and caught three hundred foxes, and took firebrands, and turned tail to tail, and put a firebrand in the midst between every two tails.
"The Philistines ... burnt her and her father with fire"  (Judges 15:6).  The tragic fate which Samson's wife had sought to avoid by her base treachery against her husband came upon her anyway, reminding us of a similar thing in the N.T.  The chief priests of Israel said of Christ, "If we let him alone, all men will believe on him; and the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation" (John 11:48), whereupon Caiaphas said, (and I paraphrase his words), "You idiots, don't you know what to do?  We shall kill him, for it is better for one man to die than for the nation to perish."  Of course, it was that very deed that resulted in the wicked priests' loss of their place, and the Romans took away their nation also!
