Cushi

  1. A messenger sent by Joab to King David. He was sent to announce the defeat of Absalom (2 Samuel 18:21–32). The Hebrew word written as "Cushi" in English should probably be translated as "Cushite," which means a person from Cush.

    See Cush (Place).

  2. The great-grandfather of Jehudi. Jehudi was a prince in the court of King Jehoiakim of Judah in the time of Jeremiah the prophet (Jeremiah 36:14).

  3. The father of the prophet Zephaniah (Zephaniah 1:1).
