2: Only that the generations of the children of Israel might know, to teach them war, at the least such as before knew nothing thereof;
3: Namely, five lords of the Philistines, and all the Canaanites, and the Sidonians, and the Hivites that dwelt in mount Lebanon, from mount Baal-hermon unto the entering in of Hamath.

16: But Ehud made him a dagger which had two edges, of a cubit length; and he did gird it under his raiment upon his right thigh.
17: And he brought the present unto Eglon king of Moab: and Eglon was a very fat man.
18: And when he had made an end to offer the present, he sent away the people that bare the present.
19: But he himself turned again from the quarries that were by Gilgal, and said, I have a secret errand unto thee, O king: who said, Keep silence. And all that stood by him went out from him.
20: And Ehud came unto him; and he was sitting in a summer parlour, which he had for himself alone. And Ehud said, I have a message from God unto thee. And he arose out of his seat.
21: And Ehud put forth his left hand, and took the dagger from his right thigh, and thrust it into his belly:
22: And the haft also went in after the blade; and the fat closed upon the blade, so that he could not draw the dagger out of his belly; and the dirt came out.
23: Then Ehud went forth through the porch, and shut the doors of the parlour upon him, and locked them.
24: When he was gone out, his servants came; and when they saw that, behold, the doors of the parlour were locked, they said, Surely he covereth his feet in his summer chamber.
25: And they tarried till they were ashamed: and, behold, he opened not the doors of the parlour; therefore they took a key, and opened them: and, behold, their lord was fallen down dead on the earth.
26: And Ehud escaped while they tarried, and passed beyond the quarries, and escaped unto Seirath.

28: And he said unto them, Follow after me: for the LORD hath delivered your enemies the Moabites into your hand. And they went down after him, and took the fords of Jordan toward Moab, and suffered not a man to pass over.
29: And they slew of Moab at that time about ten thousand men, all lusty, and all men of valour; and there escaped not a man.
30: So Moab was subdued that day under the hand of Israel. And the land had rest fourscore years.

Shamgar, son of Anath (Hebrew: שמגר בן־ענת‎)

The ox goad mentioned in Judges 3:31, as the weapon used by Shamgar, son of Anath, to kill six hundred Philistines,
is a long farming prod used on oxen, which are pulling a cart or plow. These date back to the time of Egypt, and can have sharp ends.

Shamgar, son of Anath, is thought to be one of the rulers, who judged and who freed the Children of Israel from suppression, through The LORD God of Israel.

After the time of Joshua, there was no formal government, and various leaders called judges, took on the enemies of Israel. The Book of Judges is not the only place where judges are within The Old Testament.

Ones listed in The Book of Judges are as follows:

Othniel, Ehud, Shamgar, Deborah, Gideon, Tola, Jair, Jephthah, Ibzan, Elon, Abdon, and Samson.

Baalim

(Hebrew Bá'ál; plural, Be'alîm.)

Baalim, many gods. Baal can refer to a deity or a master of a house.
To serve Baalim, in reference to the Children of Israel, is considered as going away from The LORD God of Israel, and serving false gods. To go with the pagan worship of Baalim, would be a dark time for Israel.
