Old Testament
Sheshai
One of the three sons of Anak, a giant of the Anakim who dwelt in Hebron.
Sheshai was a descendant of the Anakim, a group of giants who inhabited the land of Canaan. He is identified as one of the three sons of Anak encountered by the Israelite spies in Hebron. His presence served as a primary reason for the fear and lack of faith displayed by the majority of the spies, though he was later defeated by the tribe of Judah.
