Genesis 10:7; 1 Chronicles 1:9. Third of Cush's sons. In the Hadramaut (the Atramitae), a province of southern Arabia, Pliny (vi. 32) places the city Sabbatha. In this region is a dark race, differing evidently in stock from the fairer Arabs Havilah. (See HAVILAH.) (G. Rawlinson). The Cushites here form the middle connecting link between Ethiopia their original home, and the Cushite settlement on the Euphrates, the original basis of the Babylonian population. (See BABEL.)
From the co-author of the classic Jamieson, Fausset and Brown Commentary, Fausset's Bible Dictionary stands as one of the best single-volume Bible encyclopedias ever written for general use. The author's writing style is always clear and concise, and he tackles issues important to the average student of the Bible, not just the Biblical scholars. This makes Fausset an excellent tool for both everyday Bible study and in-depth lesson or sermon preparation.Wikipedia
