I mean, does seeing oneself as if a grasshopper really mean that extreme a difference, or were there merely a bunch of NBA-types who were so noticeably taller than ordinary folk? Based on the writings of the day, it would appear that hyperbole was almost a regular part of life then.

And they were clearly taller, as was Goliath some years later. But do we have a clear statement of their size outside of the potentially hyperbolic statements like the one about grasshoppers?

OK Genius, how do you explain these questions?
