He served as one of the judges of Israel before the establishment of the monarchy. The period of the judges was marked by a cyclical pattern of Israel’s sin, oppression by enemies, cries for deliverance, and God raising up judges to save them. Shamgar‘s rise as a deliverer came at a time when Israel was under Philistine oppression.
