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 (Judg. 3:8, 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.
