1. But the Children of Israel continued to commit wickedness in the sight of the Lord, and the Lord delivered them into the hands of the Philistines forty years. 2 And there was a man in Zorah, of the family of the Danites, named Manoah, whose wife was barren, and bare not. 3 And the Angel of the Lord appeared unto the woman, and said unto her: Behold now thou art barren, and bearest not. But thou shalt conceive, and bear a son. 4 And now therefore beware that thou drink no wine, nor strong drink, neither eat any unclean thing. 5 Because lo thou shalt conceive and bear a son, and no razor shall come on his head: for the Child shall be a Nazarite unto God from his birth, and he shall begin to save Israel out of the hands of the Philistines.

1God afflicted the Israelites, and delivered them to their enemies, because they returned to their old nature, and forgetting the Lord their God, worshipped Idols. And this affliction dured forty years. We read of none longer then this. From the death of Abdon the last Judge, even almost unto Hely this affliction endured: because Samson did not fully deliver the people. He in deed smote the Philistines, but he did not utterly repel them from oppressing of the Hebrews. This word Zorah is a name of a place, and not of a family, as we shall afterward understand, towards the end of the chapter.
