22 Manoah said, “We have seen God, so we will surely die.”
23 But his wife said to him, “If the Lord wanted to kill us, he would not have accepted our burnt offering or grain offering. He would not have shown us all these things or told us all this.”
24 So the woman gave birth to a boy and named him Samson. He grew, and the Lord blessed him.
25 The Spirit of the Lord began to work in Samson while he was in the city of Mahaneh Dan, between the cities of Zorah and Eshtaol.
