<p> | <p> ANAKIM, famous giants in Palestine. Anak, father of the Anakim, was son of Arba, who gave his name to Kirjath-Arba, or Hebron. Anak had three sons, Sheshai, Ahiman, and Talmai, whose descendants were terrible for their fierceness and stature. The [[Hebrew]] spies reported that in comparison of those monstrous men, they themselves were but grasshoppers. Some have thought that the name <em> Phoenician, </em> given to the Canaanites, and particularly to the Sidonians, was originally from <em> Bene- Anak, </em> sons of Anak. Caleb, assisted by the tribe of Judah, took Kirjath- Arba, and destroyed the Anakim, A.M. 2559. Joshua 15:14; Judges 1:20 . </p> | ||
