What is Giah?
GI'AH
(a breaking forth; here, a waterfall), near the hill Arumah, 2 Sam 2:24. GI'ANT denotes men of extraordinary size or height. Gen 6:4. The sons of Anak are usually looked upon as giants, on account of the expression of which the spies made use -- that they were "as grasshoppers ... in their sight." Num 13:33. The fright of the Israelites makes it probable that they were referring to strength rather than stature. The king of Bashan, Deut 3:11, and Goliath, 1 Sam 17:4, were warlike and dreaded giants. See Rephaim.
