Topic: Persons Of The Bible -- Shamgar The name "Shamgar" possibly means "sword" in Hebrew. Shamgar was raised up to be a deliverer. Israel was in a most depressed condition. The Philistines from the maritime plain invaded the Hebrew upland for the purposes of plunder. At the time of the incursion, Shamgar, the son of Anath, was otherwise unknown. With no arms in his hand but an ox-goad, (Judges 3:31) comp. (1Sam 13:21) Shamgar made a desperate assault upon the Philistines and slew 600 of them. (B.C. about 1290.) An ox goad was a formidable sharp pointed instrument, sometimes ten feet long. He was probably contemporary for a time with Deborah and Barak (Judg. 3:31; 5:6).
