Who they were

The Zuzim were an ancient people mentioned in the context of the battle between Chedorlaomer and his allies against the kings of Sodom, Gomorrah, and their allies (Genesis 14:5). Chedorlaomer and his confederates defeated the Zuzim in Ham, along with other ancient peoples such as the Rephaim and the Emim. The exact location of Ham and the origins of the Zuzim are not provided in the biblical text. Some scholars suggest that the Zuzim may be connected to other ancient peoples, such as the Zamzummim mentioned in Deuteronomy 2:20.
