The conception and birth of Samson fulfills the angel's promise and describes the child as one whom the Lord blessed, emphasizing that the child is divinely gifted from birth and that his exceptional character derives from God's direct blessing. The notation that the Lord blessed the child suggests that Samson's strength and capabilities are divine gifts rather than merely natural human endowments. The child's growth in the normal sequence suggests that Samson's early development follows ordinary patterns, yet the emphasis on divine blessing suggests underlying extraordinary character from conception. The narrative transition from promise to fulfillment establishes that God has proven faithful to the word spoken through the angel and that Samson's arrival inaugurates the promised deliverance.
