Cush. (black).

1. A Benjamite, mentioned only in the title to Psalms 7:1. He was probably a follower of Saul, the head of his tribe, (B.C. 1061).

2. The name of a son of Ham, apparently the eldest, and of a territory or territories occupied by his descendants. The Cushites appear to have spread along tracts, extending from the higher Nile to the Euphrates and Tigris. History affords many traces of this relation of Babylonia, Arabia and Ethiopia.
