Exegesis
The relative pronoun asher {אֲשֶׁר | ʾăš-er} ‘who’ introduces a defining relative clause, with the perfect re’a {רֵעָה | rê-‘ā} ‘had been a companion’ plus the suffix lo {לוֹ | lō} ‘to him’, describing the companion’s prior relationship. This construct-plus-relative structure foregrounds causality: Samson’s wife passes to the man previously attached to him. English rendering maintains the construct as ‘wife of’ and the relative clause as ‘who had befriended him’ to preserve both the possessive linkage and temporal nuance.
In context — Judges 14:20
And Samson’s wife was given to his companion , who had befriended him.
