1. Eldest son of Ham and grandson of Noah. Genesis 10:6-8; 1 Chronicles 1:8-10 . His descendants are called in the A.V. Ethiopians, though the Hebrew is the same: Cush . The district also occupied by the above people, Isaiah 11:11 , is mostly called in A.V. Ethiopia, q.v. It will be seen by the genealogy that the descendants of Cush were numerous:-

SEBA. HAVILAH. SABTA. RAAMAH. SEBTECHA. NIMROD.

SHEBA DEDAN.

All these cannot be confined to Africa. Some were probably located in Arabia, and Nimrod is clearly associated with the East; so that though as a district Cush may usually refer to Africa, the Cushites must have had a much wider range. It seems clear too from Genesis 2:13 that even geographically the name Cush: or Ethiopia, was also applied to a region in Asia.

2. A Benjamite enemy of David. Psalm 7 title. Some consider that Shimei is referred to, as intimated in the margin , 2 Samuel 16:5 . Others think it is Saul.
