So in the 14th year, King Kedorlaomer and the kings with him came to fight against them. Kedorlaomer and the kings with him defeated the Rephaim people in Ashteroth Karnaim. They also defeated the Zuzim people in Ham. They defeated the Emim people in Shaveh Kiriathaim.
There was another war at Gath. There was a very large man. This man had six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot. He had 24 fingers and toes in all. This man was also one of the giants. [131]
They entered the country through the Negev [172] and went to Hebron. (The town of Hebron was built seven years before the town of Zoan in Egypt.) Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai lived there. These men were descendants [173] of Anak.

There were many Zamzummites, and they were very strong. They were tall, like the Anakite [14] people. But the Lord helped the Ammonite people destroy the Zamzummites. The Ammonite people took that land and live there now.
Og was the king of Bashan. Og was one of the few Rephaite people still alive. Og’s bed was made from iron. It was over 13 feet long and 6 feet wide. [15] The bed is still in the city of Rabbah, where the Ammonite people live.)
The people there are tall and strong. They are the Anakites. [56] You know about those people. You heard our spies say, ‘No person can win against the Anakites.’
Caleb forced the three Anakite families living in Hebron to leave there. Those families were Sheshai, Ahiman, and Talmai. They were from the family of Anak.
The wooden part of Goliath’s spear was as big as a weaver’s rod. The spear’s blade weighed 15 pounds. [151] Goliath’s helper walked in front of him, carrying Goliath’s shield.
