Show Verse Quote Highlights
Context — The Birth of Samson
8Then Manoah prayed to the LORD, “Please, O Lord, let the man of God You sent us come to us again to teach us how to raise the boy who is to be born.”
9And God listened to the voice of Manoah, and the angel of God returned to the woman as she was sitting in the field; but her husband Manoah was not with her.
10The woman ran quickly to tell her husband, “Behold, the man who came to me the other day has reappeared!”
11So Manoah got up and followed his wife. When he came to the man, he asked, “Are you the man who spoke to my wife?” “I am,” he said. 12Then Manoah asked, “When your words come to pass, what will be the boy’s rule of life and mission?”Cross References

Judges 13:10 Summary
This verse tells us about a woman who had a special visit from an angel of God, and she ran to tell her husband about it. She was excited to share the news with him because it was a big deal - the angel had come to tell her that she would have a baby boy who would do great things for God, as seen in Judges 13:5. This shows us that God is always working in our lives, even when we don't expect it, and we should be eager to share the good news with others, just like the woman did (Romans 10:14-15). We can learn from her example by being open to God's work in our lives and sharing it with those around us, just like the Great Commission in Matthew 28:18-20.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why did the woman run quickly to tell her husband about the man's return?
The woman ran quickly to tell her husband because she knew the significance of the man's return, as he was the one who had appeared to her earlier and announced the birth of their son, as seen in Judges 13:3-5. This event was a miraculous and life-changing experience for the couple.
Who is the man that the woman is referring to in this verse?
The man referred to in this verse is the angel of God, also known as the angel of the Lord, who had appeared to the woman earlier in Judges 13:3-5. This angel was a messenger from God, similar to those seen in other parts of the Bible, such as in Genesis 16:7-13 and Exodus 3:2-4.
What can we learn from the woman's actions in this verse?
The woman's actions in this verse demonstrate her eagerness to share the news with her husband and her recognition of the importance of the event. This can be seen as an example of how we should be eager to share the good news of the Gospel with others, as seen in Matthew 28:18-20 and Acts 1:8.
How does this verse relate to the larger story of Judges 13?
This verse is a pivotal moment in the story of Judges 13, as it marks the beginning of the fulfillment of God's promise to the woman and her husband. It sets the stage for the rest of the chapter, which tells the story of the birth of Samson and the instructions given to his parents for his upbringing, as seen in Judges 13:12-14 and Judges 14:1-4.
Reflection Questions
- What are some times in my life when I have experienced a miraculous or life-changing event, and how did I respond to it?
- How can I, like the woman in this verse, be eager to share the good news of the Gospel with others?
- What are some ways that I can demonstrate my recognition of the importance of God's work in my life, as the woman did in this verse?
- How can I apply the example of the woman's actions in this verse to my own relationships, such as with my spouse or family members?
