After him came Shamgar the sons of Anath, who struck down six hundred Philistines with an oxgoad; and he also saved Israel.And? What, you mean that's it? No more information? He's one of the famous judges of Israel, and he gets one tiny little verse?
Okay, if you're not going to say, I have to just ask questions. First off, was he a judge at the same time as Ehud, or truly after? It doesn't say the people fell back to sin before he came along, so was he during that same time frame, and just defeated a different enemy? Or was he a savior during the time after Ehud, when things were going good, and perhaps he won a defensive victory?
And how do you kill 600 people with an oxgoad? Come to think of it, what exactly is an oxgoad?
