This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Shamgar: Jdg 5:6, Jdg 5:8
an ox goad: This implement, Mr. Maundrell informs us, in Palestine and Syria is of an extraordinary size. He measured several, and "found them about eight feet long; and at the bigger end about six inches in circumference. They were armed at the lesser end with a sharp prickle for driving the oxen; and at the other end with a small paddle of iron, strong and massive, for cleansing the plough from the clay. In the hand of a powerful man such an instrument must be more dangerous and fatal than a sword." Jdg 15:15; 1Sa 13:19-22, 1Sa 17:47, 1Sa 17:50; 1Co 1:17
also: Jdg 2:16
Israel: "So part is called Israel." Jdg 4:1, Jdg 4:3-24, Jdg 10:7, Jdg 10:17, Jdg 11:4-33; 1Sa 4:1 "It seems to concern only the country next to the Philistines."
