The document summarizes the biblical story of Samson from the book of Judges. It describes how the Israelites had backslidden and God allowed them to be oppressed by the Philistines. God then promised a barren woman that she would bear a son who would begin to deliver the nation. This son was Samson, who was dedicated as a Nazarite from birth to be consecrated to God. When the angel foretold this to Manoah and his wife, it performed a miracle to prove its message. Samson grew up empowered by God's spirit and began to judge Israel.
