The highest moungtain on land is Mount Everest, its summit is over 29,000 feet above sea level. There might be some islands in the ocean that are technically mountains is you measure from the sea floor that are taller than Everest, but I'm not sure.

All thoroughly out of Context contained in the way that you install in suggesting that the writers of those scriptures were implying that the Earth is Flat at the same time as the Bible obviously states the earth became round. The round structure of the Earth - "He sits enthroned above the circle of the earth, and its people are like grasshoppers. He stretches out the heavens like a cover, and spreads them out like a tent to stay in," (Isaiah 40:22). The Hebrew language did not have a note for "sphere." Circle is particularly adequate.

Mt.Everest if you caonsider height above sea level as the emaning of the word 'highest'.
However if you consider 'height' as the length from the bottom to the top ,then the answer is Mauna Kea.
