Cush (Person)

1. Eldest of Ham’s four sons (Gn 10:6; 1 Chr 1:8). Because the other three (Egypt, Put, and Canaan) are place-names, it is likely that Cush also is a place. It is usually identified with Ethiopia. See Cush (Place); Ethiopia.

2. Benjamite and presumably David’s enemy, mentioned in the title of Psalm 7.
