The narrator ties this account to Ehud’s narrative by using the words after him [Ehud]
and he [Shamgar] also saved Israel.
The Lord, then, who raised up Ehud as a deliverer
(Judges 3:15), was also behind Shamgar's being raised up as a deliverer.1
31 After him was Shamgar the son of Anath, who killed 600 of the Philistines with an oxgoad, and he also saved Israel.
