Default "Short" People in the Bible?

Is this true? Any Bible experts on here? I did read much of The Bible while getting my Minor in Religious Studies at the University of Nevada, Reno and often will read parts of The Bible for some personal reason but do not have the depth of knowledge to find out if this is true.

Interesting method of study....like the quiz.



1 Samuel 16:7 ESV /

But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not look on his appearance or on the height of his stature, because I have rejected him. For the Lord sees not as man sees: man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart.”

Zacchaeus was a chief tax-collector at Jericho. Aren't all tax collectors are short? That's how they are portrayed in the movies and on TV.
