Topical Lexicon Word Origin: The origin of the name Shamgar is uncertain, but it is a proper noun used in the Hebrew Bible.Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Shamgar, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew text and does not have a Greek equivalent in the Septuagint or New Testament. Usage: Shamgar is used as a proper noun in the Hebrew Bible, specifically referring to a judge of Israel. Context: Shamgar is mentioned in the Book of Judges as one of the judges of Israel. He is noted for his remarkable feat of delivering Israel from the oppression of the Philistines. In Judges 3:31, it is recorded: "After Ehud came Shamgar son of Anath. He struck down six hundred Philistines with an oxgoad, and he too saved Israel." This brief account highlights Shamgar's role as a deliverer and warrior, using an unconventional weapon, an oxgoad, to achieve victory. The oxgoad, a tool typically used for driving oxen, underscores the resourcefulness and divine empowerment of Shamgar in his leadership. Shamgar's story is also alluded to in Judges 5:6, during the Song of Deborah, which situates his judgeship in a time of great danger and unrest in Israel. Despite the brevity of his mention, Shamgar's impact as a judge is significant, demonstrating God's provision for Israel through unexpected means and individuals.
