I was reading through KJV Judges 13-16 and was wondering if Samson ever impregnated Delilah and they had a child together.
The Holy Ghost convicted me that Samson may indeed have been the "unmentioned" biological father of "Micah" in KJV Judges 17-18.
Please read through KJV Judges 17-18 in the Word of God (King James Version Holy Bible) for the whole true story. Amen.

1. Clue #1: A particular amount of money that was offered the harlot Delilah by the Philistines is eleven hundred pieces of silver (KJV Judges 16:5). Eleven hundred "shekels" is an amount of money mentioned in KJV Judges 17:2.)
2. Clue #2: Micah has an "unnamed mother" (KJV Judges 17:3).
3. Clue #3: The Name of the LORD is known and spoken by both Micah and his (unnamed) mother (KJV Judges 17:2, KJV Judges 17:3).
4. Clue #4: No mention anywhere of the "father" of Micah. A very uncommon occurrence in the biblical pattern genealogy and pedigree of important people in the Bible.
5. Clue #5: Micah, presumably an older man than the young Levite man (Scriptural Proof: KJV Judges 17:11) asks the young Levite man to be to him [Micah] a "father and a priest" (KJV Judges 17:9-10) perhaps hinting that Micah had no real "father role model" in his life growing up...

CHAPTER 17
1
And there was a man of mount Ephraim, whose name was Micah.
2
And he said unto his mother, The eleven hundred shekels of silver that were taken from thee, about which thou
cursedst, and spakest of also in mine ears, behold, the silver is with me; I took it. And his mother
said, Blessed be thou of the LORD, my
son.
3
And when he had restored the eleven hundred shekels
of silver to his mother, his mother said, I had wholly dedicated the silver
unto the LORD from my hand for my son, to make a graven image and a molten
image: now therefore I will restore it unto thee.
4
Yet he restored the money unto his mother; and his mother took two hundred shekels of silver, and gave them to the
founder, who made thereof a graven image and a molten image: and they were in
the house of Micah.
5
And the man Micah had an house of gods, and made an ephod, and teraphim, and
consecrated one of his sons, who became his priest.
6
In those days there was no king in
Israel, but every man did that which was right in his own eyes.
7
¶ And there was a young man out of Beth-lehem-judah of the family of Judah, who
was a Levite, and he sojourned there.
8
And the man departed out of the city from Beth-lehem-judah to sojourn where he
could find a place: and he came to
mount Ephraim to the house of Micah, as he journeyed.
9
And Micah said unto him, Whence comest thou? And he said unto him, I am a Levite of Beth-lehem-judah, and I
go to sojourn where I may find a place.
10
And Micah said unto him, Dwell with me, and be unto me a father and a priest,
and I will give thee ten shekels of
silver by the year, and a suit of apparel, and thy victuals. So the Levite went
in.
11
And the Levite was content to dwell with the man; and the young man was unto
him as one of his sons.
12
And Micah consecrated the Levite; and the young man became his priest, and was
in the house of Micah.
13
Then said Micah, Now know I that the LORD will do me good, seeing I have a
Levite to my priest.
CHAPTER 18
1
In those days there was no king in
Israel: and in those days the tribe of the Danites sought them an inheritance
to dwell in; for unto that day all their
inheritance had not fallen unto them among the tribes of Israel.
2
And the children of Dan sent of their family five men from their coasts, men of
valour, from Zorah, and from Eshtaol, to spy out the land, and to search it;
and they said unto them, Go, search the land: who when they came to mount
Ephraim, to the house of Micah, they lodged there.
3
When they were by the house of Micah,
they knew the voice of the young man the Levite: and they turned in thither,
and said unto him, Who brought thee hither? and what makest thou in this place? and what hast thou here?
4
And he said unto them, Thus and thus dealeth Micah with me, and hath hired me,
and I am his priest.
5
And they said unto him, Ask counsel, we pray thee, of God, that we may know
whether our way which we go shall be prosperous.
6
And the priest said unto them, Go in peace: before the LORD is your way wherein ye go.
7
¶ Then the five men departed, and came to Laish, and saw the people that were therein, how they dwelt careless,
after the manner of the Zidonians, quiet and secure; and there was no magistrate in the land, that might put them to shame in any thing; and they were
far from the Zidonians, and had no business with any man.
8
And they came unto their brethren to Zorah and Eshtaol: and their brethren said
unto them, What say ye?
9
And they said, Arise, that we may go up against them: for we have seen the
land, and, behold, it is very good:
and are ye still? be not slothful to
go, and to enter to possess the land.
10
When ye go, ye shall come unto a people secure, and to a large land: for God
hath given it into your hands; a place where there is no want of any thing that is in the earth.
11
¶ And there went from thence of the family of the Danites, out of Zorah and out
of Eshtaol, six hundred men appointed with weapons of war.
12
And they went up, and pitched in Kirjath-jearim, in Judah: wherefore they
called that place Mahaneh-dan unto this day: behold, it is behind Kirjath-jearim.
13
And they passed thence unto mount Ephraim, and came unto the house of Micah.
14
¶ Then answered the five men that went to spy out the country of Laish, and
said unto their brethren, Do ye know that there is in these houses an ephod,
and teraphim, and a graven image, and a molten image? now therefore consider
what ye have to do.
15
And they turned thitherward, and came to the house of the young man the Levite,
even unto the house of Micah, and
saluted him.
16
And the six hundred men appointed with their weapons of war, which were of the children of Dan, stood by
the entering of the gate.
17
And the five men that went to spy out the land went up, and came in thither, and
took the graven image, and the ephod, and the teraphim, and the molten image:
and the priest stood in the entering of the gate with the six hundred men that were appointed with weapons of war.
18
And these went into Micah's house, and fetched the carved image, the ephod, and
the teraphim, and the molten image. Then said the priest unto them, What do ye?
19
And they said unto him, Hold thy peace, lay thine hand upon thy mouth, and go
with us, and be to us a father and a priest: is it better for thee to be a priest unto the house of one man, or
that thou be a priest unto a tribe and a family in Israel?
20
And the priest's heart was glad, and he took the ephod, and the teraphim, and
the graven image, and went in the midst of the people.
21
So they turned and departed, and put the little ones and the cattle and the
carriage before them.
22
¶ And when they were a good way from
the house of Micah, the men that were
in the houses near to Micah's house were gathered together, and overtook the
children of Dan.
23
And they cried unto the children of Dan. And they turned their faces, and said
unto Micah, What aileth thee, that thou comest with such a company?
24
And he said, Ye have taken away my gods which I made, and the priest, and ye
are gone away: and what have I more? and what is this that ye say unto
me, What aileth thee?
25
And the children of Dan said unto him, Let not thy voice be heard among us,
lest angry fellows run upon thee, and thou lose thy life, with the lives of thy
household.
26
And the children of Dan went their way: and when Micah saw that they were too strong for him, he turned and
went back unto his house.
27
And they took the things which Micah
had made, and the priest which he had, and came unto Laish, unto a people that were at quiet and secure: and they
smote them with the edge of the sword, and burnt the city with fire.
28
And there was no deliverer, because
it was far from Zidon, and they had
no business with any man; and it was
in the valley that lieth by
Beth-rehob. And they built a city, and dwelt therein.
29
And they called the name of the city Dan, after the name of Dan their father,
who was born unto Israel: howbeit the name of the city was Laish at the first.
30
¶ And the children of Dan set up the graven image: and Jonathan, the son of
Gershom, the son of Manasseh, he and his sons were priests to the tribe of Dan
until the day of the captivity of the land.
31 And they set them up Micah's graven image,
which he made, all the time that the house of God was in Shiloh.
