Judges 13:23-25
New English Translation

23 But his wife said to him, “If the Lord wanted to kill us, he would not have accepted the burnt offering and the grain offering from us.[a] He would not have shown us all these things, or have spoken to us like this just now.”

24 Manoah’s wife[b] gave birth to a son and named him Samson.[c] The child grew and the Lord empowered[d] him. 25 The Lord’s Spirit began to control him[e] in Mahaneh Dan between Zorah and Eshtaol.
