OET (OET-RV) Now she had an ambush group ready in the next room when she said to him, “The Philistines are here to get you, Shimshon!” But he tore the cords to shreds just like a strip of flax fiber is torn to shreds when the fire reaches it, thus they didn’t find out the secret of his strength.

This word is used here to mark a break in the main story line. Here the author tells background information about Philistine men that Delilah had waiting to capture Samson.

The phrase “upon you” means that they are ready to capture him. Alternate translation: “The Philistines are here to capture you”

(Occurrence 0) he broke the bowstrings like a thread of yarn when it touches the fire
(Some words not found in UHB: and,the,ambush was_sitting to/for=her/it in/on/at/with,room and=she/it_said to=him/it Pelishtim upon,you Shimshōn and,snapped DOM the,bowstrings just=as snaps strand the,fiber in/on/at/with,touches,it fire and=not discovered strength,his )
The author describes how easily he broke the bowstrings by comparing them to how yarn breaks when it is burned. Alternate translation: “he broke the bowstrings as easily as if he were breaking burned yarn” or “he broke the bowstrings as easily as if they were made of thin yarn”
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.
