Scripture

Amorite king of Bashan, named as the last survivor of the Rephaim. Defeated by Israel at Edrei. Deuteronomy notes that his iron bedstead was still on display at Rabbah of the Ammonites, offering the measurement in place of a body height - a relic-based claim rather than an eyewitness one.

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