In these two verses we may consider divers things: first in Manoah, then 1in the Angels answer. In Manoah these two following: First his courtesy and thankfulness in offering him to eat, (thinking he had been a man) having brought such a message from God to him and his wife. And this confirmeth us in that we have heard before, that where we receive kindness, we should render and show the like again, as we can. And the godly used both, then, before, and after, to offer such courtesy to the servants of God being strangers, though they brought no message to them from God, and it is called hospitality, as we read of the Shunamite, who requested Elisha to turn in as he came by, and built him a convenient chamber for that purpose. They knowing that he who received a Prophet in the name of a Prophet, 2and a righteous man because he was so, should receive the reward that such should.
