‘and as mentioned Goliath likely wasn’t 9 feet tall, probably 6’+. Remember the Israelite’s, and many people for that part, back then were five feet or so tall.’

Depends on your view of the bible. Goliath and his brothers were descendants from angel and human female breeding. They also had 6 fingers.

It more depends on what version of the texts you read.

Og and the Rephaites died long before Goliath.

Do you assume he came from that?....maybe he was Anikite (sic)

I don’t know but I have never read that Philistines were known as tall....more like Goliath was an anomaly

Saul was a tall man, head and shoulders above everyone. How do you know everyone was only five foot tall? Where does it way that?
