A judge said to have delivered Israel by striking down six hundred Philistines with an ox-goad (Judges 3:31; recalled again in 5:6). Judges 3:31 identifies him only as the son of Anat, without further genealogy.
וְאַחֲרָיו הָיָה שַׁמְגַּר בֶּן־עֲנָת וַיַּךְ אֶת־פְּלִשְׁתִּים שֵֽׁשׁ־מֵאוֹת אִישׁ בְּמַלְמַד הַבָּקָר וַיֹּשַׁע גַּם־הוּא אֶת־יִשְׂרָאֵֽל
And after him was Shamgar the son of Anath, who smote of the Philistines six hundred men with an ox-goad; and he also saved Israel.
בִּימֵי שַׁמְגַּר בֶּן־עֲנָת בִּימֵי יָעֵל חָדְלוּ אֳרָחוֹת וְהֹלְכֵי נְתִיבוֹת יֵלְכוּ אֳרָחוֹת עֲקַלְקַלּֽוֹת
In the days of Shamgar the son of Anath, In the days of Jael, the highways ceased, And the travellers walked through byways.

A spelling is not a name. The written word שמגר stands 2 times in the corpus, which is a different question and often a different number: the same letters can spell another name or an ordinary word, and a name written with a particle attached is a word that search never returns.
