The Rephaim are mentioned in various contexts throughout the Old Testament, primarily in relation to the land of Canaan and its surrounding regions. Biblical References and Context 1. <a href="/genesis/14-5.htm">Genesis 14:5</a>: The Rephaim are first mentioned in the context of the war of the kings. "In the fourteenth year, Chedorlaomer and the kings allied with him went out and defeated the Rephaim in Ashteroth-karnaim, the Zuzites in Ham, the Emites in Shaveh-kiriathaim" . This passage indicates their presence in the region east of the Jordan River. 2. <a href="/deuteronomy/2-10.htm">Deuteronomy 2:10-11</a>: The Rephaim are described as a formidable people, comparable to the Anakim. "The Emites used to live there, a people as great, numerous, and tall as the Anakim. Like the Anakim, they are also regarded as Rephaim, though the Moabites call them Emites" . This suggests that the Rephaim were known by different names among various cultures. 3. <a href="/deuteronomy/3-11.htm">Deuteronomy 3:11</a>: Og, the king of Bashan, is described as one of the last of the Rephaim. "For only Og king of Bashan remained of the remnant of the Rephaim. His bed was made of iron and was more than nine cubits long and four cubits wide, by the standard cubit" . This highlights the extraordinary size attributed to the Rephaim. 4. <a href="/joshua/12-4.htm">Joshua 12:4</a>: The Rephaim are again associated with King Og. "And the territory of Og king of Bashan, one of the remnant of the Rephaim, who lived at Ashtaroth and Edrei" . This reinforces their presence in the northern regions of Canaan. 5. <a href="/2_samuel/21-16.htm">2 Samuel 21:16-22</a>: The Rephaim are linked to the Philistine giants defeated by David and his men. "Ishbi-benob, one of the descendants of Rapha, whose bronze spear weighed three hundred shekels and who was bearing a new sword, intended to kill David" . This passage connects the Rephaim with the descendants of Rapha, suggesting a lineage of giants. Cultural and Historical Significance The Rephaim are often associated with the ancient Near Eastern concept of giants, which appears in various mythologies and traditions. Their depiction as giants in the Bible serves to emphasize the formidable challenges faced by the Israelites as they entered the Promised Land. The presence of such mighty peoples underscores the miraculous nature of Israel's victories, attributed to divine intervention. Theological Implications From a theological perspective, the Rephaim represent the obstacles and opposition that God's people must overcome through faith and reliance on divine power. Their defeat by the Israelites serves as a testament to God's faithfulness in fulfilling His promises to His people, despite seemingly insurmountable odds. Geographical Associations The Rephaim are primarily associated with regions east of the Jordan River, including Bashan and the Transjordan area. Their presence in these areas is significant in the context of Israel's conquest and settlement of the land. The Valley of Rephaim, located near Jerusalem, is another geographical reference, indicating their widespread influence. Conclusion The Rephaim, as depicted in the Bible, are a symbol of the ancient giants who once inhabited the land of Canaan. Their legacy in the biblical narrative serves to highlight the power and providence of God in delivering His people and establishing them in the land He promised to their forefathers.<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div>Rephaim[<a href="../g/giants.htm">GIANTS</a>]<a name="amt" id="amt"></a><div class="vheading2">ATS Bible Dictionary</div>RephaimThe Hebrew word is used in two distinct significations. 1.<a href="../r/rephaim.htm">REPHAIM</a> is used to comprehend all the gigantic races of the Canaanites, of whom there were several families.

In the time of Joshua, some of their descendants dwelt in the land of Canaan, <a href="/joshua/12-4.htm">Joshua 12:4</a> 17:15, and we hear of them in David's time, in the city of Gath, <a href="/context/1_chronicles/20-4.htm">1 Chronicles 20:4-6</a>. The giant Goliath and others were the remains of the Rephaim, or of the kindred family of Anakim. Their magnitude and strength are often spoken of in Scripture. They appear to have excelled in violence and crime, and hence are monuments of divine justice. 2.<a href="../r/rephaim.htm">REPHAIM</a>, the shades or spirits of the departed, dwelling in Sheol or Hades, generally rendered in our version, "the dead" ("dead things," <a href="/job/26-5.htm">Job 26:5</a>); <a href="/psalms/88-10.htm">Psalm 88:10</a>; <a href="/proverbs/2-18.htm">Proverbs 2:18</a>; 21:16, etc. THE VALLEY OF THE REPHAIM, OR GIANTS, was famous in Joshua's time, <a href="/joshua/15-8.htm">Joshua 15:8</a> 17:15 18:16, and in the time of David, who here defeated the Philistines, <a href="/context/2_samuel/5-18.htm">2 Samuel 5:18</a>,22 <a href="/1_chronicles/11-6.htm">1 Chronicles 11:6</a> 14:9. It was a broad and fertile valley, <a href="/context/isaiah/17-5.htm">Isaiah 17:5</a>, beginning near the valley of Hinnom, and extending several miles south-west from Jerusalem, when it contracted to a narrow passage leading off towards the Mediterranean. It was in Judah, but near the border of Benjamin. <a name="eas" id="eas"></a><div class="vheading2">Easton's Bible Dictionary</div>Lofty men; giants, (<a href="/genesis/14-5.htm">Genesis 14:5</a>; <a href="/2_samuel/21-16.htm">2 Samuel 21:16</a>, 18, marg. A.V., Rapha, marg. R.V., Raphah; <a href="/deuteronomy/3-13.htm">Deuteronomy 3:13</a>, R.V.; A.V., "giants"). The aborigines of Palestine, afterwards conquered and dispossessed by the Canaanite tribes, are classed under this general title. They were known to the Moabites as Emim, i.e., "fearful", (<a href="/deuteronomy/2-11.htm">Deuteronomy 2:11</a>), and to the Ammonites as Zamzummim. Some of them found refuge among the Philistines, and were still existing in the days of David. We know nothing of their origin. They were not necessarily connected with the "giants" (R.V., "Nephilim") of <a href="/genesis/6-4.htm">Genesis 6:4</a>. (see <a href="../g/giants.htm">GIANTS</a>.) Rephaim, Valley of(<a href="/joshua/15-8.htm">Joshua 15:8</a>; <a href="/joshua/18-16.htm">18:16</a>, R.V.). When David became king over all Israel, the Philistines, judging that he would now become their uncompromising enemy, made a sudden attack upon Hebron, compelling David to retire from it. He sought refuge in "the hold" at Adullam (<a href="/2_samuel/5-17.htm">2 Samuel 5:17</a>-22), and the Philistines took up their position in the valley of Rephaim, on the west and south-west of Jerusalem. Thus all communication between Bethlehem and Jerusalem was intercepted. While David and his army were encamped here, there occurred that incident narrated in <a href="/2_samuel/23-15.htm">2 Samuel 23:15</a>-17. Having obtained divine direction, David led his army against the Philistines, and gained a complete victory over them. The scene of this victory was afterwards called Baalperazim (q.v.).A second time, however, the Philistines rallied their forces in this valley (<a href="/2_samuel/5-22.htm">2 Samuel 5:22</a>). Again warned by a divine oracle, David led his army to Gibeon, and attacked the Philistines from the south, inflicting on them another severe defeat, and chasing them with great slaughter to Gezer (q.v.). There David kept in check these enemies of Israel. This valley is now called el-Bukei'a. <a name="isb" id="isb"></a><div class="vheading2">International Standard Bible Encyclopedia</div>REPHAIMref'-a-im, re-fa'-im (repha'-im, from rapha', "a terrible one "hence "giant," in <a href="/1_chronicles/20-4.htm">1 Chronicles 20:4</a>, yelidhe ha-rapha', "sons of the giant"; the King James Version, Rephaims): A race of aboriginal or early inhabitants East of the Jordan in Ashterothkarnaim (<a href="/genesis/14-5.htm">Genesis 14:5</a>) and in the valley of Rephaim Southwest of Jerusalem (<a href="/joshua/15-8.htm">Joshua 15:8</a>). They associated with other giant races, as the Emim and Anakim (<a href="/deuteronomy/2-10.htm">Deuteronomy 2:10, 11</a>) and the Zamzummim (<a href="/deuteronomy/2-20.htm">Deuteronomy 2:20</a>). It is probable that they were all of the same stock, being given different names by the different tribes who came in contact with them. The same Hebrew word is rendered "the dead," or "the shades" in various passages (<a href="/job/26-5.htm">Job 26:5</a> margin; <a href="/psalms/88-10.htm">Psalm 88:10</a> margin; <a href="/proverbs/2-18.htm">Proverbs 2:18</a> margin; <a href="/proverbs/9-18.htm">Proverbs 9:18</a> margin; <a href="/proverbs/21-16.htm">Proverbs 21:16</a> margin; <a href="/isaiah/14-9.htm">Isaiah 14:9</a> margin; <a href="/isaiah/26-14.htm">Isaiah 26:14, 19</a> margin). In these instances the word is derived from rapheh, "weak," "powerless," "a shadow" or "shade." H.

It is located by Josephus between Jerusalem and Bethlehem (Ant., VII, iv, i; xii, 4). It corresponds to the modern el-Biqa`, which falls away to the Southwest from the lip of the valley of Hinnom. The name in ancient times may perhaps have covered a larger area, including practically all the land between Jerusalem and Bethlehem, where the head-waters of Nahr Ruben are collected. W.
