FUN TRIVIA - Poll Results

FUN TRIVIA: How Tall was Goliath?

0% - 7 Feet
25% - 8 Feet
75% - Over 9 Feet

1 Samuel 17:4 "And there went out a champion out of the camp of the Philistines, named Goliath, of Gath, whose height was six cubits and a span." (KJV)

1 Cubit = 18 inches
6 Cubits = 108 inches => 9 Feet

Christian Scholars have argued that a span is half the measurement of a Cubit, so Goliath would have been 9 Feet, 9 Inches Tall!
