Wesley's Notes

13:6 Man of God - A prophet, or sacred person, sent with a message from God. Terrible - Or, venerable, awful, full of Majesty.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

6-8. then Manoah entreated the Lord-On being informed by his wife of the welcome intimation, the husband made it the subject of earnest prayer to God. This is a remarkable instance, indicative of the connection which God has established between prayer and the fulfilment of His promises.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

13:1-7 Israel did evil: then God delivered them again into the hands of the Philistines. When Israel was in this distress, Samson was born. His parents had been long childless. Many eminent persons were born of such mothers. Mercies long waited for, often prove signal mercies; and by them others may be encouraged to continue their hope in God's mercy. The angel notices her affliction. God often sends comfort to his people very seasonably, when they feel their troubles most. This deliverer of Israel must be devoted to God. Manoah's wife was satisfied that the messenger was of God. She gave her husband a particular account, both of the promise and of the precept. Husbands and wives should tell each other their experiences of communion with God, and their improvements in acquaintance with him, that they may help each other in the way that is holy.


Judges 6:11 Then the angel of the LORD came and sat under the oak that was in Ophrah, which belonged to Joash the Abiezrite as his son Gideon was beating out wheat in the wine press in order to save it from the Midianites.
Judges 13:8 Then Manoah entreated the LORD and said, "O Lord, please let the man of God whom You have sent come to us again that he may teach us what to do for the boy who is to be born."
Judges 13:10 So the woman ran quickly and told her husband, "Behold, the man who came the other day has appeared to me." (NASB ©1995)

Angel Awesome Countenance Husband Terrible Whence


Then the woman came and told her husband, saying, A man of God came unto me, and his countenance was like the countenance of an angel of God, very terrible: but I asked him not whence he was, neither told he me his name:

A man De 33:1 Jos 14:6 1Sa 2:27 9:6 1Ki 17:18,24 2Ki 4:9,16 1Ti 6:11

terrible Jud 13:22 Ge 28:16,17 Ex 3:2,6 Da 8:17 10:5,11 Mt 28:4 Re 1:17

but I asked,etc. The Vulgate renders this cause very differently, the negative Not being omitted; Quem cum interrogassim quis esset, et unde venisset, et quo nomine vocaretur, noluit mihi dicere; sed hoc respondit, etc; `Whom when I asked who he was, and whence he came, and by what name he was called, would not tell me: but this he said.' etc. The negative is also wanting in the Septuagint, as it is in the Complutensian Polyglott; ` And I asked him whence he was, and his name, but he did not tell me.' This is also the reading of the Codex Alexandrinus; but the Septuagint in the London Polyglott, the Chaldee, Syriac, and Arabic, read the negative particle with the Hebrew text: I asked Not his name. etc. his name. Jud 13:17,18 Ge 32:29 Lu 1:19
