    The proper noun occurs in the clause identifying Samson as the son-in-law of this man. In Judges 15:6 the APB renders the clause "Samson, the son-in-law of the Timnite," before stating that Samson's wife was given to his companion.

In the Anselm Project Bible: In Judges 15:6, the APB presents the term in the phrase "the son-in-law of the Timnite." This identifies the clause's presentation rather than a precise lexical rendering.
