Cushite \Cush"ite\ (k[u^]sh"[imac]t), n. A descendant of Cush, the son of Ham and grandson of Noah. [1913 Webster]
Cushite (1.) The messenger sent by Joab to David to announce his victory over Absalom (2 Sam. 18:32). (2.) The father of Shelemiah (Jer. 36:14). (3.) Son of Gedaliah, and father of the prophet Zephaniah (1:1). (4.) Moses married a Cushite woman (Num. 12:1). From this circumstance some have supposed that Zipporah was meant, and hence that Midian was Cush.
