What do you mean "Who the heck is Shamgar!"
ANSWER: A & C
31 After Ehud came Shamgar son of Anath, who struck down six hundred Philistines with an oxgoad. He too saved Israel.
Yup, he killed 600 guys with a wooden stick. Now, perhaps he actually did this. Maybe he snuck up on people while they were asleep and bonked them on the head.
But I think what the Bible really means that he took on 600 Philistines with whatever he happened to gave on hand, Matrix style.
Not sure why this story is in the Bible, what it's significance is, or why it is an important. But it's memorable.
