    Hi Dara Susan. In 2 Samuel 18:21-33, the 'Cushi' mentioned there was a messenger of Joab (David's military commander). In Hebrew, this name appears 'as one who is descended from Cush, hence 'Cushi'). And you can see the name Cush in Genesis 10:6-8 (a son of Ham, the son of Noah). So in the 2 Samuel reference, Joab calls to the Cushi, or the Cush-ite, without stating his name. Maybe, because of his origins & his lower position before Joab, first names weren't used, as was done for Ahimaaz who also wanted to take the message of Absalom's death to David. So the meaning of 'Cush' is unknown, maybe because it was an area of the Nile delta in Egypt.
