Verse 11 is found in chapter 16 of Judges. Delilah insists again, and Samson continues playing with her through false answers. Eventually the narrative moves toward the point where she binds his hair and attempts to neutralize him. The repetition shows that Samson recognizes the danger but continues approaching it. The problem is not lack of knowledge but a growing inability to distance himself from what threatens his consecration.
