You are crossing the Jordan today, to go in to dispossess nations greater and mightier than you, cities that are great and fortified to heaven,a people who are great and tall, the sons of the Anakim, whom you know and of whom you have heard it said,‘ Who can stand against the sons of Anak?’

Numbers 13:28-33
Nevertheless, the people who live in the land are strong, and the cities are fortified and very large. And indeed, we saw the descendants of Anak there!Amalek is living in the land of the Negev, the Hittites, the Jebusites, and the Amorites are living in the hill country, and the Canaanites are living by the sea and by the side of the Jordan.”Then Caleb quieted the people before Moses and said,“ We should by all means go up and take possession of it, for we will certainly prevail over it.”But the men who had gone up with him said,“ We are not able to go up against the people, because they are too strong for us.”So they brought a bad report of the land which they had spied out to the sons of Israel, saying,“ The land through which we have gone to spy out is a land that devours its inhabitants; and all the people whom we saw in it are people of great stature.We also saw the Nephilim there( the sons of Anak are part of the Nephilim); and we were like grasshoppers in our own sight, and so we were in their sight.”

2 Samuel 21 16-2 Samuel 21 22
Then Ishbi benob, who was among the descendants of the giant, the weight of whose spear was three hundred shekels of bronze in weight, had strapped on a new sword, and he intended to kill David.But Abishai the son of Zeruiah helped him, and struck the Philistine and killed him. Then David’s men swore to him, saying,“ You shall not go out again with us to battle, so that you do not extinguish the lamp of Israel.”Now it came about after this that there was war again with the Philistines at Gob; then Sibbecai the Hushathite struck and killed Saph, who was among the descendants of the giant.And there was war with the Philistines again at Gob, and Elhanan the son of Jaare oregim the Bethlehemite killed Goliath the Gittite, the shaft of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam.And there was war at Gath again, where there was a man of great stature who had six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot, twenty four in number; and he also had been born to the giant.When he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimei, David’s brother, struck and killed him.These four were born to the giant at Gath, and they fell by the hand of David and by the hand of his servants.
