Bible Trivia: Samsonite! I Was Way Off!

In Judges 15: 3-5, Samson sought revenge on the Philistines by:

A:  killing their first born sons

B:  poisoning their well

C:  sending a herd of pigs to trample their camp

D:  catching 300 foxes, tying them together by the tail, setting their tails on fire, and then releasing them into the fields.


 of course everything in the bible is real!  come on!!!

 ANSWER:  D

Samson said to them, “This time I have a right to get even with the Philistines; I will really harm them.” So he went out and caught three hundred foxes and tied them tail to tail in pairs. He then fastened a torch to every pair of tails, lit the torches and let the foxes loose in the standing grain of the Philistines. He burned up the shocks and standing grain, together with the vineyards and olive groves.


 Philistine jerks!  I'll show 'em!

I thought that foxes were sly.  Sammy caught 300 of them?  Did he use traps or what?  He couldn't use one snares that catch their ankle, because he needed them capable of running through the fields.

Maybe Samson was really fast and caught them by hand?  Or he built an elaborate fox catching machine the likes of which had never been seen!

 kinda like that

 Or maybe god helped somehow.  I don't know, it doesn't say.

I was secretly hoping that Mozilla's Firefox browser has something to do with this, but it turns out it is a reference to the red pandaSo now you know.

 and knowing is half the battle!  Go Joe!
