| then Manoah entreated the Lord--On being informed by his wife of the welcome intimation, the husband made it the subject of earnest prayer to God. This is a remarkable instance, indicative of the connection which God has established between prayer and the fulfilment of His promises. |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
A man of God - The designation of a prophet, of frequent use in the books of Samuel and Kings Sa1 2:27; Sa1 9:6-8, Sa1 9:10; Kg1 12:22; Kg1 13:1, Kg1 13:5-6, Kg1 13:11, and applied to Timothy by Paul in the New Testament Ti1 6:11; Ti2 3:17.
His countenance - Rather, "his appearance," as the word is rendered in Dan 10:18. |
| Commentary on the Old Testament, by Carl Friedrich Keil and Franz Delitzsch [1857-78] |
| The woman told her husband of this appearance: "A man of God," she said (lit., the man of God, viz., the one just referred to), "came to me, and his appearance was like the appearance of the angel of God, very terrible; and I asked him not whence he was, neither told he me his name," etc. "Man of God" was the expression used to denote a prophet, or a man who stood in immediate intercourse with God, such as Moses and others (see at Deu 33:1). "Angel of God" is equivalent to "angel of the Lord" (Jdg 2:1; Jdg 6:11), the angel in whom the invisible God reveals himself to men. The woman therefore imagined the person who appeared to her to have been a prophet, whose majestic appearance, however, had produced the impression that he was a superior being; consequently she had not ventured to ask him either his name or where he came from. |
| Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
| Man of God - A prophet, or sacred person, sent with a message from God. Terrible - Or, venerable, awful, full of Majesty. |

| But I asked him not whence he was, neither told he me his name - This clause is rendered very differently by the Vulgate, the negative Not being omitted: Quem cum interrogassem quis esset, et unde venisset, et quo nomine vocaretur, noluit mihi dicere; sed hoc respondit. "Who, when I asked who he was and whence he came, and by what name he was called, would not tell me; but this he said," etc. The negative is also wanting in the Septuagint, as it stands in the Complutensian Polyglot: Και ηρωτων αυτον ποθεν εστιν, και το ονομα αυτου ουκ απηγγειλε μοι; "And I asked him whence he was, and his name, but he did not tell me." This is also the reading of the Codex Alexandrinus; but the Septuagint, in the London Polyglot, together with the Chaldee, Syriac, and Arabic, read the negative particle with the Hebrew text, I asked Not his name, etc. |
18 Then there came again [03254] and touched [05060] me one like the appearance [04758] of a man [0120], and he strengthened [02388] me,

11 But [1161] thou [4771], O [5599] man [444] of God [2316], flee [5343] these things [5023]; and [1161] follow after [1377] righteousness [1343], godliness [2150], faith [4102], love [26], patience [5281], meekness [4236].
11 Now there dwelt [03427] an [0259] old [02205] prophet [05030] in Bethel [01008]; and his sons [01121] came [0935] and told [05608] him all the works [04639] that the man [0376] of God [0430] had done [06213] that day [03117] in Bethel [01008]: the words [01697] which he had spoken [01696] unto the king [04428], them they told [05608] also to their father [01].
5 The altar [04196] also was rent [07167], and the ashes [01880] poured out [08210] from the altar [04196], according to the sign [04159] which the man [0376] of God [0430] had given [05414] by the word [01697] of the LORD [03068].
6 And the king [04428] answered [06030] and said [0559] unto the man [0376] of God [0430], Intreat [02470] now the face [06440] of the LORD [03068] thy God [0430], and pray [06419] for me, that my hand [03027] may be restored me again [07725]. And the man [0376] of God [0430] besought [02470] [06440] the LORD [03068], and the king's [04428] hand [03027] was restored him again [07725], and became as it was before [07223].

6 And he said [0559] unto him, Behold now, there is in this city [05892] a man [0376] of God [0430], and he is an honourable [03513] man [0376]; all that he saith [01696] cometh [0935] surely to pass [0935]: now let us go [03212] thither; peradventure he can shew [05046] us our way [01870] that we should go [01980].
7 Then said [0559] Saul [07586] to his servant [05288], But, behold, if we go [03212], what shall we bring [0935] the man [0376]? for the bread [03899] is spent [0235] in our vessels [03627], and there is not a present [08670] to bring [0935] to the man [0376] of God [0430]: what have we?
8 And the servant [05288] answered [06030] Saul [07586] again [03254], and said [0559], Behold, I have [04672] here at hand [03027] the fourth part [07253] of a shekel [08255] of silver [03701]: that will I give [05414] to the man [0376] of God [0430], to tell [05046] us our way [01870].

11 And there came [0935] an angel [04397] of the LORD [03068], and sat [03427] under an oak [0424] which was in Ophrah [06084], that pertained unto Joash [03101] the Abiezrite [033]: and his son [01121] Gideon [01439] threshed [02251] wheat [02406] by the winepress [01660], to hide [05127] it from [06440] the Midianites [04080].

1 And this is the blessing [01293], wherewith Moses [04872] the man [0376] of God [0430] blessed [01288] the children [01121] of Israel [03478] before [06440] his death [04194].
