The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Judges 13:8-25

The Second Appearance of the Angel v. 8. Then Manoah intreated the Lord and said, O my Lord, let the man of God which Thou didst send come again unto us and teach us what we shall do unto the child that shall be born. He was not unbelieving, but he desired a confirmation of his wife's statements and further instructions as to their manner of conducting themselves. v. 9. And God hearkened unto the voice of Manoah, for He has respect to the scruples of His weak children if they but turn to Him... read more

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Judges 13:8-23

Manoah, believing, yet desirous of confirmation, prays that the “Man of God” may return, and is heardJudges 13:8-23.8Then [And] Manoah entreated the Lord [Jehovah], and said, O my Lord [Pray, Lord—cf. Judges 6:15], let the man of God which thou didst send come again unto us, and teach us what we shall do unto the child that shall be born.4 9And God hearkened to the voice of Manoah; and the angel of God came again unto the woman as she sat in the field: but Manoah her husband was not with her.... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Judges 13:15-25

the Promise Fulfilled Judges 13:15-25 Manoah’s wife comforted her husband with admirable tact. How often her words come back to us, at the different stages of life! The fact that God continues to bless and use, to answer prayer and give revelations of Himself, may be quoted as a reason for believing that He has not cast us off. Would He have showed us such things as these and then kill us? His love in time past forbids us to think so. Samson means sunny . A happy, laughing lad, with his... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Judges 13:1-25

Once again we read that "Israel again did that which was evil," and once again they were delivered to discipline at the hands of their enemies. In this connection we have one of the strangest stories of the Old Testament, the story of Samson. It is the story of a great opportunity and a disastrous failure in the case of a man who might have wrought a great deliverance but failed. Everything would seem to have been in his favor. His birth was foretold by an angel visitor. The foretelling led... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Judges 13:11-25

Samson Judges Israel Judges 13:11-25 INTRODUCTORY WORDS The period of the Judges revealed times immediately following the death of Joshua. 1. The period of the Judges, as a whole, is summed up thus. (1) "And the Children of Israel did evil in the sight of the Lord." (2) "And the Lord sold them into the hand of * *." (3) "And the Children of Israel cried unto the Lord." (4) "And the Lord raised up * * to deliver them." Time and again these four things were said of Israel. They sinned; God... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Judges 13:18

‘ And the Angel of Yahweh said to him, “Why do you ask after my name, seeing it is Wonderful?” ’ This may mean that His name was ‘beyond knowing’, because He was beyond knowing in His essence, absolutely and supremely wonderful, or it may mean that it was a secret not revealed to men because it was too high for them, or it may be indicating what he was, ‘Wonderful’, precious and important beyond measure. Compare the name given to the coming Messianic king in Isaiah 9:6. Both Jacob (Genesis... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Judges 13:19

‘ So Manoah took the kid with the meal offering, and offered it on the rock to Yahweh, and the angel did wondrously and Manoah and his wife looked on.’ Manoah offered the kid and the meal offering on the rock to Yahweh at the direct command of the Angel of Yahweh. Compare and contrast Judges 6:20-21 where Gideon did not offer the sacrifice but stood by and watched the Angel do it. Here Manoah himself offered the burnt offering. There was no altar which suggests it was not his regular custom.... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Judges 13:18

Or, hidden from mortal men; or, wonderful, such as thou canst not comprehend; my nature or essence (which is oft signified by name in Scripture) is incomprehensible. This shows that this was the Angel of the covenant, the Son of God. read more
