Contextual Overview

8 Then Manoah prayed, "Our Lord , please send that prophet again and let him tell us what to do for the son we are going to have." 9 God answered Manoah's prayer, and the angel went back to Manoah's wife while she was resting in the fields. 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

And God hearkened unto the voice of Manoah,.... Heard his prayer and answered it:

and the angel of God came again unto the woman as she sat in the field; who very likely returned to the same place where she was before, in hope her husband's prayers would be heard, and the man return and come to her where he had before met her; as well as she might be here retired for meditation and prayer; unless it can be supposed that she had business here to do, as keeping a flock of sheep, which women, and those great personages too, were wont to do in those times and countries, as Rebekah the sister of Laban, and the daughters of Jethro, prince of Midian:

but Manoah her husband was not with her; the angel appeared to the woman again, because she would know him to be the same; whereas had he appeared to Manoah, especially alone, he could not have known whether he was the same or not. This clause is observed for the sake of what follows.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Judges 13:9. The angel of God came again — This second appearance of the angel was probably essential to the peace of Manoah, who might have been jealous of his wife had he not had this proof that the thing was of the Lord.
