An older account, Flavius Josephus

From Flavius Josephus, Antiquities of the Jews 2.3: 125

From there they moved their camp to Hebron, taking this by storm, they killed everyone. There yet survived the race of the giants. In the size of their bodies and appearance they were unlike other people; they were astonishing to see and terrible to hear of. Even now their bones, which are unlike those that have come to our knowledge, are displayed.

Flavius Josephus was a Romano-Jewish historian, who lived from 37- c. 100 (Wikipedia: "Josephus") You can read Josephus online here.
