The author is providing background information that will help readers understand what happens next in the story. In your translation, introduce this information in a way that would be natural in your own language and culture.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / possession
הָרֹאִ֖ים בִּשְׂח֥וֹק שִׁמְשֽׁוֹן
the,watching in/on/at/with,performed Shimshōn/(Samson)
The author is using the possessive expression laughing of Samson not to describe Samson himself laughing, but the Philistines laughing as they were watching him. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: [who laughed at Samson when they saw him]
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.
