After him was Shamgar the son of Anath, who struck of the Philistines six hundred men with an ox-goad: and he also saved Israel.
Though the writer did not call Shamgar a judge in the text, he was one of Israel’s heroic deliverers (cf. Judges 5:4). Few students of the book exclude him from the list of judges, though he may not have functioned in the nation as a typical one.
