Verse 24 of 25. The 13th of 21 chapters in Judges, in History.
20For it came to pass, when the flame went up toward heaven from off the altar, that the angel of the Lord ascended in the flame of the altar. And Manoah and his wife looked on it, and fell on their faces to the ground.
21But the angel of the Lord did no more appear to Manoah and to his wife. Then Manoah knew that he was an angel of the Lord.

24And the woman bare a son, and called his name Samson: and the child grew, and the Lord blessed him.
25And the Spirit of the Lord began to move him at times in the camp of Dan between Zorah and Eshtaol.

His name, Samson, has been derived by some, from Shemesh, the sun, turned into a diminutive, sol exiguus—the sun in miniature, perhaps because, being born like Moses to be a deliverer, he was like him exceedingly fair, his face shone…
