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.
David Washburn argued that the phrase "after him" may indicate the beginning of a new episode. If this is so, we should place Shamgar contemporary with Deborah rather than Ehud (cf. Judges 5:6). He acknowledged, however, that it is impossible to determine exactly when Shamgar slew the 600 Philistines. [Note: Washburn, pp. 417-18, 421.]
