Judges 3:10

3:10 The Lord’s spirit empowered him ¹  and he led Israel. When he went to do battle, the Lord handed over to him King Cushan-Rishathaim of Aram and he overpowered him. ² 

Judges 14:6

14:6 The Lord’s spirit empowered ³  him and he tore the lion ⁴  in two with his bare hands ⁵  as easily as one would tear a young goat. But he did not tell his father or mother what he had done.

Judges 14:19

14:19 The Lord’s spirit empowered him. He went down to Ashkelon and murdered thirty men. He took their clothes ⁶  and gave them ⁷  to the men who had solved the riddle. He was furious as he went back home. ⁸ 

Zechariah 4:6

4:6 Therefore he told me, “These signify the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel: ‘Not by strength and not by power, but by my Spirit,’ ⁹  says the Lord who rules over all.”

¹ tn Heb “was on him.”

² tn Heb “his hand was strong against Cushan-Rishathaim.”

³ tn Heb “rushed on.”

⁴ tn Heb “him” or “it”; the referent (the lion) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

⁵ tn Heb “and there was nothing in his hand.”

⁶ tn Heb “equipment”; or “gear.”

⁷ tn Heb “changes [of clothes].”

⁸ tn Heb “he went up to his father’s house.”

⁹ sn It is premature to understand the Spirit here as the Holy Spirit (the third Person of the Trinity), though the OT prepares the way for that NT revelation (cf. Gen 1:2; Exod 23:3; 31:3; Num 11:17-29; Judg 3:10; 6:34; 2 Kgs 2:9, 15, 16; Ezek 2:2; 3:12; 11:1, 5).
