16:2 Note: We agree with both BHS 1997 and BHQ on an unexpected reading.
OET (OET-RV) But the Gazites passed around the news, “Shimshon’s in town.” So they encircled the city gate and they laid in wait for him all night. They stayed quiet the whole night, saying, “We’ll kill him when it gets light.”

(Occurrence 0) The Gazites were told
(Some words not found in UHB: to_the,Gazites to=say he/it_came Shimshōn they(f) and,surrounded and,lay_in_wait to=him/it all the=night in/on/at/with,gate the=city and,kept_quiet all the=night to=say until light the,morning and,kill,him )
The word “Gazites” refers to people from Gaza. If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “Someone told the people of Gaza”
(Occurrence 0) The Gazites surrounded the place … they waited for him all night at the city gate
(Some words not found in UHB: to_the,Gazites to=say he/it_came Shimshōn they(f) and,surrounded and,lay_in_wait to=him/it all the=night in/on/at/with,gate the=city and,kept_quiet all the=night to=say until light the,morning and,kill,him )
This implies that some Gazites surrounded the place where Samson was staying and others waited at the city gate so that he could not leave.
(Occurrence 0) They kept silent all night
(Some words not found in UHB: to_the,Gazites to=say he/it_came Shimshōn they(f) and,surrounded and,lay_in_wait to=him/it all the=night in/on/at/with,gate the=city and,kept_quiet all the=night to=say until light the,morning and,kill,him )
This could mean: (1) “They did not make any noise all night” or (2) “They made no attempt to attack him all night.”
16:1-31 There is nothing of judgeship in this last chapter of Samson’s checkered history. Samson effectively abandoned his calling and was eventually stripped of his gifting as well. Only in his final encounter, when he again turned to the Lord in prayer, did any of his heroic stature revive.

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.
