Contextual Overview
1 But later Samson visited his wife during grain gathering time with a young goat. Samson said, "I will go in to my wife in her room." But her father did not let him go in. 2 Her father said, "I thought you hated her. So I gave her to your friend. Is not her younger sister more beautiful than she? Let her be yours instead." 3 Samson said to him, "This time I will be without blame when I hurt the Philistines." 4 So Samson went and caught 300 foxes. He tied them together tail to tail. And he put a fire stick between the tails of every two foxes. 5 Then he set fire to the sticks and let the foxes go into the standing grain of the Philistines. So the standing grain and cut grain and vines and olive trees were burned up. 6 The Philistines said, "Who did this?" And they were told, "Samson, the son-in-law of the Timnite, because the Timnite took his wife and gave her to his friend." So the Philistines came and burned her and her father with fire. 7 Samson said to them, "For sure I will punish you for acting like this. After that I will stop." 8 He killed many of them without mercy. Then Samson went down and lived in the opening of the rock of 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.
