The author is using a common expression to mean that Samson killed these men violently. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation. You could also use plain language. Alternate translation: “Then he cut them to pieces”

ˊĒyţām
The word Etam is the name of a place.
15:6-10 The chain of revenge was complicated (cp. 9:7-21). First, Samson took revenge on the community of Philistines, not on his in-laws. Next, the Philistines accepted that Samson was a victim of injustice (see study note on 14:20) and took revenge on Samson’s in-laws, which then led Samson to avenge his in-laws by attacking the Philistines. It all triggered a potential war with Israel. God was beginning to rescue Israel through Samson (13:5; cp. 1 Sam 7:3).

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.
