Best Answer

Goliath, the Philistine champion from Gath from 1 Samuel chapter 17, stood 6 cubits and 1 span in height which totals about 9.75 feet or 3 meters.

Note the Greek version and Dead Sea Scroll read this as 4 cubits and 1 span which is 6.75 feet (2 meters). In any case Goliath was a giant of a man and some bible translations indicate his height as almost twice as tall as most men.

What did goliath look like?

1Samuel says Goliath's height was six cubits and a span while the Greek translation (Septuagint) says he was four cubits and a span. While the length of a cubit is not precisely known, there is a general consensus that a cubit is measured from the elbow to the tip of the middle finger. Thus, a cubit is somewhere around eighteen inches, plus or minus 10 percent. And a span is approximately nine inches (half the length of a cubit). The Samuel scroll from Qumran, which is in Hebrew, reads the same as the Greek version (6'6"). This implies that the Hebrew from which the Greek translator was working also said that Goliath was "six feet six inches rather than nearly ten feet tall." The Dead Sea Scrolls confirm both the Greek Septuagint and Josephus' Antiquities,the corruption resides in the extant Hebrew. The findings at Qumran suggest that the seemingly impossible height of Goliath (over nine feet tall) resulted from a corruption of the original version of 1 Samuel.
