Cushan
probably a poetic or prolonged name of the land of Cush, the Arabian Cush [Hab 3:7 ]. Some have, however, supposed this to be the same as Chushan‑rishathaim [Dom 3:8 ; Dom 3:10 ], i.e., taking the latter part of the name as a title or local appellation, Chushan "of the two iniquities" (= oppressing Israel, and provoking them to idolatry), a Mesopotamian king, identified by Rawlinson with Asshur‑ris‑ilim (the father of Tiglathpileser I.); but incorrectly, for the empire of Assyria was not yet founded. He held Israel in bondage for eight years.
