This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Shamgar
v. 31. And after him, following his example in the west, was Shamgar, the son of Anath, which slew of the Philistines six hundred men with an ox goad, a primitive, but effective instrument or weapon on account of the sharp iron prick at the end; and he also delivered Israel, apparently from a local subjugation. In these narratives both the righteousness and the goodness of the Lord is apparent. For God punishes transgressions of every kind, often with great severity, but when the transgressors turn to Him in true repentance He is glad to send them help and salvation. It is for us to keep our Savior in mind at all times and thus to avoid all wilful sins.
