The form is tagged Noun · Proper in every cited occurrence. In Judges 13:24 the APB renders the clause, "The woman bore a son and called his name Samson"; later passages identify this same named man as acting at Timnah, confronting the Philistines, speaking with Delilah, and grasping the house pillars in Judges 14:1, Judges 15:4, Judges 16:10, and Judges 16:29.
In the Anselm Project Bible: Across the supplied verses, the APB consistently presents the proper name as "Samson," whether it introduces his action, reports others speaking to or about him, or names him in the final scene. This consistency is treated as presentation of the verse-level proper name rather than a separate lexical definition.
