Manoah wasn't there at the time, 10 so she found him and said, "That same man is here again! He's the one I saw the other day." 11 Manoah went with his wife and asked the man, "Are you the one who spoke to my wife?" "Yes, I am," he answered. 12 Manoah then asked, "When your promise comes true, what rules must he obey and what will be his work?" 13 "Your wife must be careful to do everything I told her," the Lord 's angel answered. 14 "She must not eat or drink anything made from grapes. She must not drink wine or beer or eat anything forbidden by God's laws. I told her exactly what to do."

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Then Manoah entreated the Lord,.... Josephus l makes the woman to entreat the Lord; but the text is clear for it that it was Manoah that prayed:
and said, O my Lord, let the man of God which thou didst send unto us; he believed that the man that came to his wife was a man of God, and that he was of his sending; nor was he incredulous of the message he brought, as appears by what follows:
and teach us what we shall do unto the child that shall be born; he believed there would be a child born, and he knew what was to be done to a Nazarite in common, according to the law of God respecting such, and the angel had mentioned somewhat to the woman; yet this being an extraordinary case, a Nazarite from his birth to his death, he was desirous of knowing what was further to be done; or if there was any thing more special and particular to be observed concerning him; which showed his readiness and cheerfulness to obey the will of God in all things.
