  Cushite
     (1.) The messenger sent by Joab to David to announce his victory
     over Absalom (2 Sam. 18:32).
     
       (2.) The father of Shelemiah (Jer. 36:14).
     
       (3.) Son of Gedaliah, and father of the prophet Zephaniah
     (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.
