And the wife of Samson became to his companion who had accompanied him
(Some words not found in UHB: and=it_became wife_of Shimshōn's to,companion,his which/who been_~_bestman to=him/it )
Since the author speaks of this companion in the singular and adds a descriptive phrase about him, he must have had a special role in the bridegroom’s party. Your language may have its own term or expression for this role. Alternate translation: “And the woman’s father gave her to Samson’s best man to be his wife instead”
14:20 According to some ancient customs, giving the bride to the best man, even if the marriage was not consummated, was forbidden. The father’s action appears to have been treacherous (cp. 15:2-3, 6).
