The answer is: Og

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

In Deuteronomy 3:11, we meet Og, the king of Bashan, whose enormous iron bed comes in at an impressive 13.5 feet long and 6 feet wide—an artifact that gives us a glimpse into a culture where size often denoted power. Even by modern standards, that's quite the sleeping arrangement, hinting at Og's stature probably exceeding that of your average giant!

Interestingly, Og's gigantic proportions draw parallels to many biblical figures like Goliath, who stood tall to challenge the young David, and a host of other 'giants' in ancient literature. Both figures symbolize not just physical dominance but the threats faced by the Israelites as they journeyed to the Promised Land.

Adaji Ga ties this hulking giant especially to the biblical reflection on what it means to confront fearsome challenges in life. In essence, Og and Goliath demonstrate that those who seem overwhelmingly powerful can sometimes fulfill a prophetic purpose in growth, vulnerability, and reliance on broader an broader beyond ourselves.

From a geographical angle, Og ruled Bashan, known for its lush pastures and formidable fixed cities, adding to the impression of a land flourishing yet fraught with instability because of its strong leaders like Og. The iron bed itself has become somewhat of a conversational piece; How did such an ironic object intersect with deeper themes of fear, faith, and survival? Og’s story feels like a veiled fable about not just towering threats, but the even bigger hope accompanying those who seek and believe.
