Strong's Lexicon Kushan Rishathayim: Cushan-Rishathaim Original Word: כּוּשַׁן רִשְׁעָתַיִם Word Origin: The name is a compound of two elements: "Kushan," possibly related to Cush, a region or people, and "Rishathayim," which means "double wickedness" or "twice wicked." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for this specific name, as it is a proper noun unique to the Hebrew text. However, the concept of oppression and deliverance is echoed in various New Testament passages that discuss spiritual bondage and liberation through Christ. Usage: Kushan-Rishathaim is a name used in the Bible to refer to a king of Mesopotamia who oppressed the Israelites. The name itself suggests a character of significant wickedness or oppression, as indicated by the term "Rishathayim," meaning "double wickedness." Cultural and Historical Background: Kushan-Rishathaim is mentioned in the context of the period of the Judges, a time characterized by a cycle of Israelite apostasy, oppression by foreign powers, cries for deliverance, and subsequent deliverance by judges raised by God. This period followed the conquest of Canaan and preceded the establishment of the monarchy in Israel. The oppression by Kushan-Rishathaim is seen as a divine response to Israel's disobedience, serving as a catalyst for their repentance and return to God.
