As the angel of the LORD foretold to Manoah's wife, Samson the Nazirite was born at Zorah during the Philistine oppression (Judges 13:5, 24). The Ussher record places the birth at 1155 BC.
📖 Judges 13:1–3
1Again the Israelites did evil in the sight of the LORD, so He delivered them into the hand of the Philistines for forty years. 2Now there was a man from Zorah named Manoah, from the clan of the Danites, whose wife was barren and had no children. 3The angel of the LORD appeared to the woman and said to her, “It is true that you are barren and have no children; but you will conceive and give birth to a son.
