Cushite

Cushite

  • The messenger sent by Joab to David to announce his victory over Absalom ( 2 Samuel 18:32 ).

  • The father of Shelemiah ( Jeremiah 36:14 ).

  • Son of Gedaliah, and father of the prophet ( Zephaniah 1:1 ).

  • Moses married a Cushite woman ( Numbers 12:1 ). From this circumstance some have supposed that Zipporah was meant, and hence that Midian was Cush.
