(Some words not found in UHB: and=it_became wife_of Shimshvōn/(Samson)'s to,his_close_of,friend 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]
OET-LV And_it_became the_wife_of Shimshvōn/(Samson) to_his_close_of_friend who he_was_a_special_friend to_him/it.
OET (OET-RV) Then (unknown to Shimshon), his wife was given to the man who’d been his close friend and companion.
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
