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/jit/translate-names)

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