Samson did several things to the Philistines. The Book of Judges tells the story of Samson. See Judges 13:24 though 16:30. Not so much a trick but a riddle. Samson promised thirty linen garments and thirty changes of clothes for anyone who could figure it out wihin seven days of the marriage feast that was being held. Then he asked, "Out of the eater, something to eat; out of the strong, something sweet." The Philistines couldn't get it right at all. So then they went to Samson's wife and begged her to get the answer from him. Samson gave her the answer, she went to the Philistines and they told him the answer from his wife. That's when he became very angry and killed thirty men to keep his word. But as in the bible he left that "heifer".

∙ 11y agoThe Matthew Henry Commentary indicates this meant they messed with him- teasing, hitting, tripping, taking advantage of his blindness, etc. Basically, the schoolyard bullies on steroids and with power.

I think the Biblical text simply refer to the reality that they saw their enemy, Samson, in his weakened and broken state as something to be proud of, and to enjoy as they teased him, smite him, and reminded him of their victory over him. He was obviously a shell of his former self, and to the Philistines, that in itself was entertainment.
Samson tied torches to the tails of 300 foxes and set them loose in the Philistines' fields, setting them on fire. This destroyed the crops and caused chaos among the Philistines.

Where did samson kill philistines?
Samson lived in the latter part of the time of the judges. Samson was a judge. (not a judge like we have today, but a judge in that time period delivered Israel out of the hand of their enemies and brought them closer to God.) We are told in Judges 16:4b "....... that He (God) was seeking an occasion to move against the Philistines. For at that time the Philistines had dominion over Israel". God raised up Samson to incite war against the Philistines. The Philistines had taken over parts of Israel and were treating the people very badly. God wanted this to stop. Samson was the first Judge to encounter the Philistines. It was not until the time of David that the Philistines were defeated badly enough to stop being a power against Israel. Samson's basic area of war against the Philistines was Zorah, which was in the territory of the Tribe of Dan. If you will recall it was David as a lad before he became King who took his sling and 5 smooth pebbles (Rocks) and put one between the eyes of Goliath who was a mercenary of the Philistines.
