The Rephaites (or Zamzumites) were a tall people group mentioned in the Hebrew Bible that lived between the Nile River and the Euphrates River during the time of Abraham (Genesis 15:17).
The Emites and Anakites were sometimes considered part of this group (Deuteronomy 2:10) but sometimes separate. The Bible records that God used the Ammonites to destroy the Rephaites (Deuteronomy 2:19). The giant size of the Rephaites is illustrated by the bed of Og, king of Bashan that was "made of iron and was more than thirteen feet long and six feet wide" (Deuteronomy 3:10). During the time of David, Sibbecai the Hushathite is mentioned as a descendant of the Rephaites (1 Chronicles 20:4).
