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.
