Exegesis
The noun ben {בֵּ֔ן | bēn} ‘a son’ marks the new arrival, followed by vatikra {וַתִּקְרָ֥א | waṯ-tik-rāʾ} ‘and she called’ which forms the naming clause with et-shemo {אֶת־שְׁמ֖וֹ | ʾet-šəm-mō} ‘his name’.
In context — Judges 13:24
And the woman bore a son and called his name Samson. The youth grew, and the LORD blessed him.
