---excerpt from the Illustrated Bible Dictionary.

Cushite - (1.) The messenger sent by Joab to David to announce his victory over Absalom (2 Samuel 18:32). (2.) The father of Shelemiah (Jeremiah 36:14). (3.) Son of Gedaliah, and father of the prophet Zephaniah (Zephaniah 1:1). (4.) Moses married a Cushite woman (Numbers 12:1). From this circumstance some have supposed that Zipporah was meant, and hence that Midian was Cush.
