THE ANGEL OF JEHOVAH ANNOUNCES SAMSON'S BIRTH"And there was a certain man of Zorah, of the family of the Danites, whose name was Manoah; and his wife was barren, and bare not. And the angel of Jehovah appeared unto the woman, and said unto her, Behold now, thou art barren, and bearest not; but thou shalt conceive and bear a son. Now therefore beware, I pray thee, and drink no wine nor strong drink; and eat not any unclean thing: for, lo, thou shalt conceive, and bear a son; and no razor shall... read more

Now, therefore, beware, &c.— As Samson was to be a perfect Nazarite unto God, from the womb to the day of his death, Jdg 13:7 his mother is commanded to live as the Nazarites did, (Numbers 6:0.) while she carried him in her womb, and, most likely, while she nursed him; because a child in the womb, and its mother, live by the same nourishment. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Judges 13:1-25
F. The sixth apostasy chs. 13-16"From chapters 13 to 18, the author concentrates on the tribe of Dan, which had been one of the largest and most prominent tribes during the wilderness march (Numbers 2:25-31).
