Cushite: 1. The messenger sent by Joab to David to announce his victory over
Absalom
(2 Samuel 18:32)2. The father of Shelemiah
(Jeremiah 36:14)
3. Son of Gedaliah, and father of the prophet Zephaniah
(Zephaniah 1:1)
4. Moses married a Cushite woman
(Numbers 12:1) From this circumstance
some have supposed that Zipporah was meant, and hence that
Midian was Cush.
