Midras Hakim-hakim 15:4: Ein Yaakov (Glick Edition) & Midrash Tehillim

(Ib. 15, 4) And Samson went and caught three hundred foxes. Why did he choose foxes? Said Ibbai, the son of R. Agdi, in the name of R. Chiya b. Abba: "Samson said: 'Let the fox which has a habit to retract, come and mete out our punishment to the Philistines, who violated their oath.'" We are taught that R. Simon, the pious, said: "The distance between both shoulders of Samson was sixty cubits, as it is said (Ib. 16, 3) And Samson laid till midnight but he arose at midnight and took hold of the doors of the city gate and two-door-posts and took them away with the bolt, and put them upon the shoulders. And we are taught in a Baraitha that the doors of Gazzah were not less than sixty cubits in length."

What is man, that You should remember him? Rabbi Berechiah said, when God created the world, He wished to show the angels the praise of the righteous. They said to Him, "What is man?" Rabbi Joshua ben Levi said, because God says to them, "Do I not fill heaven and earth?" The upper and lower beings have nothing but the use of their fingers. "What is man?" This is Abraham, as it says, "And God remembered Abraham." And "son of man" is Isaac, as it says, "And the Lord remembered Sarah." And "little less than the angels" is Jacob, as it says, "And the flocks were heated with Jacob." This teaches that he was only lacking in giving his soul for them. And it says, "And he wrestled with an angel and prevailed; he wept and besought him." This is Moses, as it says, "And Moses knew not that the skin of his face shone." "Thou shalt rule over the work of Thy hands." This is Joshua, who said, "Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon." "All that tread upon him shall be put to death." This is David, as all his enemies fell before him, as it says, "And I have smitten them as small as the dust of the earth." "And he spoke of trees." This is Solomon. And "with the jawbone of an ass, heaps upon heaps." This is Samson. Rabbi Huna bar Pappa said he showed them that Samson, when he caught three hundred foxes. Rabbi Simon said: Show them Daniel, who descended into the lions' den and sat on their necks without being harmed. The birds of the air refer to Elijah, who travels around the world like a bird, as it is said, "And the ravens brought him bread and meat" (1 Kings 17:6). The fish of the sea refers to Jonah, as it is said, "And Jonah was in the belly of the fish" (Jonah 2:1). The "crossing of the sea" refers to the Israelites, as it is said, "The children of Israel went on dry land in the midst of the sea" (Exodus 14:29). The angels said, "O Lord our God, how majestic is Your name in all the earth! Your glory is above the heavens!" (Psalms 8:1)
