Cumberland's calculation, the height of Goliath was about eleven feet ten inches; but Parkhurst estimating the ordinary cubit at seventeen inches and a half, calculates that he was nine feet six inches high. Few instances can be produced of men who can be compared with him. Pliny says, `The tallest man that hath been seen in our days was one name Gabara, who, in the days of Claudius, the late Emperor, was brought out of Arabia: he was nine feet nine inches.' Josephus mentions a Jew, named Eleazar, whom Vitellius sent to Rome, who was seven cubits, or ten feet two inches high. Becanaus saw a man near ten feet, and a woman that was a full ten feet. And, to mention no more, a man of the name of John Middleton, born at Hale, near Warrington, in Lancashire, in the reign of James the First, was more than nine feet high. Dr. Plott, in his history of Staffordshire, says, that `his hand, from the carpus to the end of the middle finger, was seventeen inches, his palms eight inches and a half broad, and his whole height was nine feet three inches; wanting but six inches of the height of Goliath of Gath.'</p><div class="vheading2">Links</div><a href="/1_samuel/17-4.htm">1 Samuel 17:4</a> • <a href="/niv/1_samuel/17-4.htm">1 Samuel 17:4 NIV</a> • <a href="/nlt/1_samuel/17-4.htm">1 Samuel 17:4 NLT</a> • <a href="/esv/1_samuel/17-4.htm">1 Samuel 17:4 ESV</a> • <a href="/nasb/1_samuel/17-4.htm">1 Samuel 17:4 NASB</a> • <a href="/kjv/1_samuel/17-4.htm">1 Samuel 17:4 KJV</a> • <a href="//bibleapps.com/1_samuel/17-4.htm">1 Samuel 17:4 Bible Apps</a> • <a href="//bibliaparalela.com/1_samuel/17-4.htm">1 Samuel 17:4 Biblia Paralela</a> • <a href="//holybible.com.cn/1_samuel/17-4.htm">1 Samuel 17:4 Chinese Bible</a> • <a href="//saintebible.com/1_samuel/17-4.htm">1 Samuel 17:4 French Bible</a> • <a href="//bibeltext.com/1_samuel/17-4.htm">1 Samuel 17:4 German Bible</a> • <a href="/">Bible Hub</a><br /></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="left"><a href="../1_samuel/17-3.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="1 Samuel 17:3"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="1 Samuel 17:3" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="../1_samuel/17-5.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="1 Samuel 17:5"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="1 Samuel 17:5" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div> <div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhnew2.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
