Gill's Notes on the Bible
And the children of Israel again did evil in the sight of the Lord,.... Which was the fruit and effect of the long rest and peace they enjoyed; and which is often the case of a people favoured with peace, plenty, and prosperity, who are apt to abuse their mercies, and forget God, the author and giver of them; and the principal evil, though not expressed, was idolatry, worshipping Baalim, the gods of the nations about them; though it is highly probable they were guilty of other sins, which they indulged in the times of their peace and prosperity:
when Ehud was dead; Shamgar is not mentioned, because his time of judging Israel was short, and the people were not reformed in his time, but fell into sin as soon as Ehud was dead, and continued. Some choose to render the words, "for Ehud was dead" t, who had been, the instrument of reforming them, and of preserving them from idolatry, but he being dead, they fell into it again; and the particle "vau" is often to be taken in this sense, of which Noldius u gives many instances.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible
CHAPTER IV
The Israelites again rebel against God, and they are delivered
into the hands of Jabin, king of Canaan, 1, 2.
They cry unto God, and he raises up Deborah and Barak to deliver
then, 3-10.
Some account of Heber the Kenite, 11.
Barak attacks Sisera, captain of Jabin's army, at the river
Kishon, and gives him a total overthrow, 12-16.
Sisera leaves his chariot, and flies away on foot; enters the
tent of Jael, the wife of Heber, by whom he is slain, while
secreting himself in her apartment, 17-24.
NOTES ON CHAP. IV
Verse Judges 4:1. When Ehud was dead. — Why not when Shamgar was dead? Does this not intimate that Shamgar was not reckoned in the number of the judges?
