Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed for doing comparisons of different translations. Click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

QUOTE_NOT_FOUND: And the wife of Samson became to his companion who had accompanied him
(Some words not found in UHB: and=it_became wife_of Shimshōn's to,companion,his 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]
