Re: 7 to 9 feet tall is not the issue
Og, king of Bashan was much taller than Goliath. He measured about 13 ft tall. Deut. 3:11.
BibleGateway, King James version writes:
11For only Og king of Bashan remained of the remnant of giants; behold his bedstead was a bedstead of iron; is it not in Rabbath of the children of Ammon? nine cubits was the length thereof, and four cubits the breadth of it, after the cubit of a man.

Looks like THAT passage was referring to his....bed. I thought you knew scripture better then that. is YOUR bed exactly your height/width? (would make for an uncomfortable nights sleep, eh? what with not being able to move at all without falling off) He was a king, I am sure he had grand sleeping arrangements so he could fit all his lady friends, comfortably.
