 Shamgar
    The Philistines from the maritime plain had made incursions into
    the Hebrew upland for the purposes of plunder, when one of this
    name, the son of Anath, otherwise unknown, headed a rising for
    the purpose of freeing the land from this oppression. He
    repelled the invasion, slaying 600 men with an "ox goad" (q.v.).
    The goad was a formidable sharpointed instrument, sometimes ten
    feet long. He was probably contemporary for a time with Deborah
    and Barak (Judg. 3:31; 5:6).
