Old Testament Personalities: Samson - Arthur A Ferdig Toward the end of the period of Judges (c. 1130 B.C.), about 50 years after Gideon, God punished Israel at the hand of the Philistines. He allotted the enemy 40 years to exact tribute (Judg. 13:1). But God also planned a deliverer. Birth of Samson - a miracle. God chose to bring a champion out of the tribe of Dan. He sent an angel to visit the barren wife of a man named Manoah, promising her a son. She was warned, however, that during her pregnancy she should abstain from wine, strong drink and any unclean food (Num. 6:2-8, Lev. 11), for the child would be a Nazarite unto God. hwalibrary/cgi-bin/get/hwa.cgi?action=getmagazine&InfoID=1372881326 Additional Programs and Literature available at: hwalibrary
