jan 1, 1215 BC - Shamgar defeats the Philistines?
Description:
The dating of this event is unclear. It is mentioned in Judges 3:31, and Deborah makes a reference to Shamgar in Judges 5:6.
Could the Merneptah Stele perhaps be describing Shamgar’s historical actions? Alongside a “wasted” Israel, the stele states, “Ashkelon has been overcome.” Ashkelon was a chief Philistine city to which migrations began earlier in that century. No mention is made of other Philistine cities—only this one. And its defeat came at the same time that “Israel is laid waste”—as Deborah put it, as in the days of Shamgar.
