| Sham'gar.
(sword). Son of Anath, judge of Israel. When Israel was in a most
depressed condition, Shamgar was raised up to be a deliverer. With no
arms in his hand, but an ox-goad,
Jdg 3:31, compare
1Sa 13:21, he made a desperate assault upon the
Philistines, and slew 600 of them. (B.C. about 1290).
