Exegesis
The construct phrase chatan hattimni {חֲתַן הַתִּמְנִי | ḥāṯān hattimnî} ‘son-in-law of the Timnite’ establishes Samson’s social role.
In context — Judges 15:6
The Philistines said, “Who has done this?” And they said, “Samson, the Timnite’s son-in-law, because he took his wife and gave her to his companion.” Then the Philistines went up and burned her and her father with fire.
