The answer is: Og

Deut 3:11 - Goliath undoubtedly had a big bed too, but we're not told how big.

When you think about oddities in the Bible, Og, the king of Bashan, is certainly a fascinating figure! The measurements of his enormous iron bed—13.5 feet long and 6 feet wide—spark curiosity and a touch of humor. Can you imagine lying supine and needing that much space? It gives new meaning to the term "having a king-size bed!"

Og is often viewed as a somewhat mythical giant, towering over the Israelites both literally and figuratively. He’s one of the last remaining giants of the Rephaim, a group often associated with legends and larger-than-life stories. His legendary status hints at an ancient understanding of powerful and fearsome foes. Speaking of giants, Goliath often comes to mind as one of the most notorious. While we don’t have specific dimensions for Goliath’s bed, from the descriptions of his great height (around 9.5 feet), it’s safe to assume he might have needed ample space as well!

These tales reflect cultural narratives about strength and conquest—a common thread in ancient literature. The biblical stories entertain while communicating deeper truths about adversity and overcoming fear, using these formidable figures as vehicles of these lessons. From Og to Goliath, these characters take on larger-than-life roles, symbolizing not only physical strength but also inner struggles that people's faith and perseverance must face. Isn't it intriguing how invincible and gigantic threats can reflect life's real challenges in our own journeys?
