Cushite:
(1.) The messenger sent by Joab to David to announce his victory over Absalom (2Sa 18:32).
(2.) The father of Shelemiah (Jer 36:14).
(3.) Son of Gedaliah, and father of the prophet Zephaniah (Zep 1:1).
(4.) Moses married a Cushite woman (Num 12:1). From this circumstance some have supposed that Zipporah was meant, and hence that Midian was Cush.
Cushite:
kush'-it: Whereas kushi, is elsewhere rendered Ethiopian, in 2Sa 18:21-32 it is rendered Cushite in the Revised Version (British and American) (see CUSHI and compare CUSHITE WOMAN). Its plural, which occurs in Zephaniah, Daniel and 2 Chronicles, also in the form kushiyim, in Amos, is uniformly translated Ethiopians, following Septuagint. The other Old Testament books use simply kush, for people as well as land.
