Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from כּוּשׁ (Cush) and רִשְׁעָתַיִם (Rishathaim)Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for this specific Hebrew proper noun in the Strong's Concordance, as it is a unique name found in the Old Testament narrative. However, the concept of oppression and deliverance is echoed in various New Testament passages that discuss themes of spiritual bondage and liberation through Christ. Usage: This proper noun refers to a king of Mesopotamia who oppressed the Israelites during the time of the Judges. Context: Cushan-Rishathaim is a figure mentioned in the Book of Judges, specifically in Judges 3:8-10. He is described as a king of Mesopotamia who subjugated the Israelites for eight years. This period of oppression was a result of the Israelites' disobedience to God, leading to their deliverance into the hands of Cushan-Rishathaim. The name itself suggests a character of significant wickedness, as "Rishathaim" can be translated to mean "double wickedness." The narrative highlights the cyclical pattern of sin, oppression, repentance, and deliverance that characterizes the Book of Judges. The Israelites cried out to the Lord, and He raised up Othniel, the son of Kenaz, as a deliverer. Othniel defeated Cushan-Rishathaim, bringing peace to the land for forty years. This account underscores the theme of divine justice and mercy, as well as the importance of faithfulness to God.
