son of Manoah, of the tribe of Dan, Judges xiii, 2, &c. We are
no where acquainted with the name of his mother. He was born, A. M.
2849, and was a Nazarite from his infancy, by the divine command. He was
brought up in a place called the camp of Dan, between Zorah and Estaol,
Judges xiii, 25. His extraordinary achievements are particularly
recorded in Judges xiv-xvi. “Faith” is attributed to him by St. Paul,
though whether he retained it to the end of his life may be doubted. He
is not inaptly called by an old writer, “a rough believer.”
