Manoah

Manoah was a man who lived in the land of the Danites. He was a good man, and he and his wife were childless. One day, an angel appeared to Manoah's wife and told her that she would soon have a son. The angel also told her that the boy would be a great warrior who would deliver Israel from the Philistines. Manoah's wife was afraid, but the angel told her not to be afraid. He said that the boy would be a special child, and that he would be raised to serve God. The angel then disappeared. Manoah's wife told her husband what had happened, and Manoah was afraid. He went to the place where the angel had appeared, and he built an altar there. He offered a sacrifice to God, and he prayed that God would bless his wife and give her a son. God answered Manoah's prayer, and Manoah's wife soon gave birth to a son. They named him Samson, and he grew up to be a strong and powerful man. He used his strength to fight the Philistines and to deliver Israel from their oppression.
