Hazelelponit was the wife of Manoah and the mother of Samson. She was initially a barren woman, but she prayed to God for a child, and an angel told her that she would have to abstain from alcohol and unclean foods during her pregnancy, and that her son would be raised a Nazirite. Samson was born in 1155 BC, and he grew into a mighty warrior. In 1137 BC, Hazelelponit and her husband opposed Samson's betrothal to the Philistine woman Semadar.
