Raw Blame History

Samson went down to Timnah

The phrase "went down" is used here because Timnah is lower in elevation than where his father's house was. Timah is the name of a city in the Sorek Valley. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/translate-names)

one of the daughters of the Philistines

The word "daughter" is a polite way to refer to a young, unmarried woman. AT: "one of the unmarried women among the Philistine people" or "a Philistine girl" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-euphemism)

Now get her for me to be my wife

This is an idiom. Samson was demanding his parents to speak to the Philistine woman's parents about marriage. AT: "Now arrange for her to become my wife" or "Make the arrangements for me to marry her" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-idiom)
