   Cushi was the man Joab ordered to carry the tidings to David.
   He was an Ethiopian, as his name signifies, and some think he
   was so by birth--a black, who waited on Joab, probably one of
   the ten who had helped to dispatch Absalom; though it was
   dangerous for one of those to bring the news to David, lest
   his fate should be the same with theirs that reported the
   death of Saul and Ishbosheth to him.
