And he smote them hip and thigh with a great slaughter: and he went down and dwelt in the top of the rock Etam.

Verse 8 is found in chapter 15 of Judges. The Philistines burn the woman and her father, provoking another reaction from Samson. He strikes them down in great numbers before withdrawing to a cave. The chain of violence intensifies through successive acts of retaliation. The narrator shows how Philistine oppression and Samson’s personality become intertwined in an escalating cycle that is difficult to separate.

und schlug sie hart, an Schultern und an Lenden. Und zog hinab und wohnte in der Steinkluft zu Etam.
E hiriolos pierna y muslo con gran mortandad; y descendió, y fijose en la cueva de la peña de Etam.
Los derrotó de manera aplastante y mató a muchos. Después bajó y se estableció en una hendidura de la roca de Etam.
Il les battit rudement, dos et ventre; puis il descendit, et se retira dans la caverne du rocher d'Etam.
Ed egli li percosse con grande sconfitta, percotendoli con la coscia in su i fianchi. Poi discese, e si fermò nella caverna della rupe di Etam
E feriu-os com grande ferimento, pernas juntamente com coxa; e desceu, e habitou na fenda da rocha de Etã.
參孫 狠狠擊殺他們,把他們連腿帶腰都砍了。過後,他就下去,住在 以坦巖 的石洞裏。
