Exegesis

The participial construction wehaorev yoshev {וְהָאֹרֵב יֹשֵׁב | wə-hā-ʾō-rê-ḇ yō-šêv} ‘the ambush lay hidden’ uses yō-šêv to indicate an ongoing state, localized by bechader {בֶּחָדֶר | bə-ḥā-der} ‘in the room’.

In contextJudges 16:12

So Delilah took new ropes and bound him with them. Then she said to him, “The Philistines are upon you, Samson!” Meanwhile, the ambush lay hidden in the room. But he tore them from his arms like a thread.
