Scripture

Father of Anak and the man for whom Hebron was originally named Kiriath-arba, "city of Arba". Described as the greatest of the Anakim, which in context reads as pre-eminence in stature as well as rank.

Named in the Hebrew Bible or New Testament canon. Heights are given only where the text gives them, in the text’s own units.
