TSNTyndale Study Notes:

13:25 Inspired leaders are filled with the divine Spirit. In spite of Samson’s evident failures, the Spirit’s presence was powerfully at work in him.
• Mahaneh-dan (literally camp of Dan) is mentioned again in 18:12; the phrase could describe a temporary settlement rather than a fixed location.
• Zorah (13:2) and Eshtaol were in the valley of Sorek, about fifteen miles west of Jerusalem at the pass that leads down to Philistine territory.


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-endofstory

וַ⁠תָּ֨חֶל֙ ר֣וּחַ יְהוָ֔ה לְ⁠פַעֲמ֖⁠וֹ

and,began spirit_of YHWH to,stir,him

Here and in the last sentence of the previous verse, the author is saying what happened at the end of the story of Samson’s birth. He leads into the stories of Samson’s young adulthood in the following chapters by saying that “the boy grew” and “Yahweh blessed him” and noting that the Spirit of Yahweh began to agitate him, that is, to make him dissatisfied with living under Philistine occupation. Your language may have its own way of bringing one part of a story to a close and introducing the next part.
