His strength was tied to covenant, obedience and submission to God. Hair was a symbol of that in his case.

Obviously in his hair since his intent was to submit.

His strength didn't return with the submission to the vow. There isn't scripture that says he submitted to the vow after capture. But after a time, his hair began to grow, and with that growth came strength once again.

Do you suppose that he let his hair grow back to renew his vow? Apparently he never asked for a hair cut again......

Was it his vow or his parents?

Perhaps... how else do we explain his lack of submission in being with Delilah in the first place?

I don't think he had a choice.

If his captors had thought about it, I'm sure he'd have been shaved twice a week!

God is merciful! Samson was moronic......wouldn't you be the least bit suspicious if the woman you were in love/lust with keep trying to get your secret and then trying them out on you?
