Español Shamgar deflected Philistine raids into Israel and slaughtered 600 of the invaders with an ox goad.
The text is very unordinary compared with the records of other judges. The reference to Shamgar has no introduction, conclusion, or relation to the length of reign. It continues directly from the previous narrative.
Shamgar is also mentioned within the Song of Deborah (Judges 5:6).
