Exegesis
The prepositional purpose clause la-milchamah {לַמִּלְחָמָה | la-miḥāmāh} clarifies the campaign’s aim, and the relative clause asher lihudah {אֲשֶׁר לִיהוּדָה | ʾāšer liḥūdāh} locates Socoh within Judah.
In context — 1 Samuel 17:1
The Philistines gathered their camps for battle ; they assembled at Socoh in Judah and set up camp between Socoh and Azekah at Efes Dammim.
