Context — The Birth of Samson
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.Cross References

| 2 | Matthew 7:7–11 | Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened. Which of you, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? So if you who are evil know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good things to those who ask Him! |
Judges 13:9 Summary
In Judges 13:9, we see that God listens to and responds to the prayers of those who seek Him, as Manoah had prayed in Judges 13:8. The angel's return to the woman shows that God is attentive to the details of our lives and willing to communicate with us. This verse reminds us that we can trust in God's sovereignty and timing, just like the woman did, and that He will guide us when we seek Him (as in Proverbs 3:5-6). By looking at this example, we can learn to be more faithful and receptive to God's messages in our own lives.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does it mean that God listened to the voice of Manoah in Judges 13:9?
This phrase indicates that God heard and responded to Manoah's prayer, as seen in his request in Judges 13:8, demonstrating God's willingness to engage with those who seek Him, as promised in Jeremiah 29:12-13.
Why did the angel of God return to the woman instead of Manoah in Judges 13:9?
The Bible does not provide a direct reason, but it may be because the initial message was given to the woman in Judges 13:3-7, and the angel was following up on that initial conversation, emphasizing the importance of the woman's role in this encounter.
Is there a significance to Manoah not being with his wife when the angel returned in Judges 13:9?
This detail may highlight the woman's faith and readiness to receive the angel's message, as she was the first to encounter the angel in Judges 13:3-7, and her husband's absence does not hinder God's plan, as seen in other biblical accounts like Genesis 18:9-15.
How does this verse relate to the concept of prayer and God's response?
Judges 13:9 shows that God is attentive to the prayers of His people, as Manoah's prayer in Judges 13:8 is followed by God's response, illustrating the biblical principle that God hears and answers prayer, as stated in Psalm 145:18-19 and Matthew 7:7-8.
