(cyoo' sshan- rihssh uh thay' ihm) Personal name meaning, “dark one of double evil.” King of Aram Naharaim to whom Yahweh gave Israel in the early period of the Judges (Judges 3:8 ). Othniel finally defeated him. We have no other information about him. Some have tried to see Aram as an unintentional copying error for an original Edom, but no evidence exists for this conjecture. See Aram Naharaim.
