And the Spirit of the LORD began to move him at times in the camp of Dan between Zorah and Eshtaol.
All Commentaries on Judges 13:25 Go To Judges 13

And why should I speak of all one by one? Samson, born by the divine promise, had the Spirit accompanying him, for we read, “The Lord blessed him, and the Spirit of the Lord began to be with him in the camp.” And so foreshadowing the future mystery, he demanded a wife of the aliens, which, as it is written, his father and mother did not know about, because it was from the Lord. And rightly was he esteemed stronger than others, because the Spirit of the Lord guided him, under whose guidance he alone put to flight the foreign peoples, and at another time inaccessible to the bite of the lion, he, unconquerable in his strength, tore the lion apart with his hands. Would that Samson had been as careful to preserve grace, as he was strong to overcome the beast!
