+ | The [[Son of Samson (Series)|Son of Samson series]] opens circa 1060 BC in the Palestinian city of [[Zorah]] during the time of the judges of Israel. While on a quest to retrace the exploits of his famous father [[Samson]], eighteen year-old [[Branan]] foils Commander [[Sidon]]'s would-be raid on the [[Hebrews|Hebrew]] village by pelting the Philistine leader with melons from a nearby produce cart. When the triumphant Branan introduces himself to the grateful villagers as the biological son of the legendary Samson, [[Manoah]] joyfully reveals that he is the father of Samson and is, thus, Branan's paternal grandfather. |
Manoah then invites Branan home for dinner so the two can get better acquainted. While Branan helps himself to a hearty meal, Manoah divulges the supernatural details of the [[Angel of the Lord|angelic messenger]]'s announcement to [[Samson's Mother|Samson's mother]] about the blessed son she will soon bear. Saddened at Manoah's account of Samson's hedonistic lifestyle, Branan wonders aloud why [[Adonai|God]] would use such a flawed man as his father to deliver the Israelites from their political woes. But Manoah gently reminds his grandson that the greater miracle by far is that the Lord would want to deliver such an unrepentant people as the Hebrews at all. |
