   According to Bp. Cumberland's calculation, the height of
   Goliath was about eleven feet ten inches; but Parkhurst
   estimating the ordinary cubit at seventeen inches and a half,
   calculates that he was nine feet six inches high.  Few
   instances can be produced of men who can be compared with him.
   Pliny says, "The tallest man that hath been seen in our days
   was one name Gabara, who, in the days of Claudius, the late
   Emperor, was brought out of Arabia:  he was nine feet nine
   inches."  Josephus mentions a Jew, named Eleazar, whom
   Vitellius sent to Rome, who was seven cubits, or ten feet two
   inches high.  Becanus saw a man near ten feet, and a woman
   that was full ten feet.  And, to mention no more, a man of the
   name of John Middleton, born at Hale, near Warrington, in
   Lancashire, in the reign of James the First, was more than
   nine feet high.  Dr. Plott, in his history of Staffordshire,
   says, that "his hand, from the carpus to the end of the middle
   finger, was seventeen inches, his palms eight inches and a
   half broad, and his whole height was nine feet three inches;
   wanting but six inches of the height of Goliath of Gath."
