שַׁמְגַּר

(ssham' gahr) Hurrian name meaning, “Shimig (the god) has given.” A mysterious warrior who slew 600 Philistines with an oxgoad, a long metal-tipped pole (Judges 3:31 ). His name is Hurrian, but whether that was his lineage is uncertain. In the song of Deborah (Judges 5:1 ), Shamgar (the “son of Anath”) is praised for clearing the highways of robbers, making travel once again possible. See Anath; Judges.
