Samson is the only judge with a birth narrative signaling his auspicious arrival. In vv. 1–25, the Angel of Yahweh appears to his barren mother to announce that she would have a son and that he was to be set apart as a lifelong Nazirite (see Num 6). Her son would begin God’s work of delivering Israel from the Philistines (Judg 13:5). Unlike the other judges who delivered Israel at the head of an army (like Deborah, Gideon, or Jephthah), Samson battles Philistines alone. But like other judges (such as Gideon and Jephthah), Samson is a tragic figure. While he judged Israel for 20 years (15:20), his exploits did not appear to bring about any lasting change for the people of Israel. The Philistines would be a problem for many years after Samson’s death. While the precise date for Samson is unknown, the overall timeframe of the judges is roughly 1250–1050 bc, leading up to the time of the narrative of Samuel the judge—depicted in 1 Samuel.
