Manoah in Wikipedia
Manoah is the father of Samson. Manoah means rest or quiet in
Judges 13:1-23 and 14:2-4 of the Hebrew Bible.
Manoah was of the tribe of Dan, and lived in the city of
Zorah. He and his wife were childless, but an angel of the
Lord appeared to Manoah's wife and told her that she would
give birth to a son. The child was to be dedicated from the
womb as a Nazirite, which entailed restrictions on his diet,
which the angel spelled out in detail. The "woman" (for her
name was omitted) told her husband "A man of God came to me",
whose countenance was like the angel of God. Manoah prayed
again and the angel returned to instruct the both of them.
After the angel left, Manoah tells his wife, "We shall surely
die, because we have seen God." (Judges 13:22)
Together with his wife he subsequently tried to dissuade
Samson from marrying a Philistine woman, but travelled with
him to Timnath for the wedding ceremony when they were unable
to do so.
The story gained added importance for Christians, who read
into it parallels with the Annunciation to Mary.
