We are continuing our study of the life of Samson. In our last study, we saw how he lost a bet, and how the bet resulted in the murder of 30 innocent men. Add to that, Samson's marriage was ruined. Another highlight to observe in Judges 15 is the scapegoat mentality. His wife was a Philistine and was given to his best friend in marriage, so he blamed the Philistines for his misfortune. (Racial hatred)
His anger took him to extremes. He took 300 foxes and tied their tails together with torches to bring destruction to the fields of the Philistines. This showed animal cruelty, but what is incredible is that he took 300 foxes to do that feat. A fox is not an easy animal to catch and can attack humans. We will see more notable feats as we advance to further studies of the life of Samson. How the Lord used his potential in spite of his shortcomings.
