⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
This verse shows that Samson's hair, the source of his God-given strength, was starting to grow back after Delilah had it cut off.
📚 Historical Context
This occurs after Delilah betrayed Samson by cutting his hair while he slept, causing him to lose his supernatural strength and be captured by the Philistines. The Philistines had gouged out his eyes and forced him to work as a slave grinding grain in their prison. This simple statement about his hair growing back hints that his strength - and God's presence - might be returning.
