The meaning of Cushite in the Bible
(From International Standard Bible Encyclopedia)

kush'-it: Whereas kushi, is elsewhere rendered Ethiopian, in II Samuel 18:21-32 it is rendered Cushite in the Revised Version (British and American) (see CUSHI and compare CUSHITE WOMAN). Its plural, which occurs in Zephaniah, Daniel and 2 Chronicles, also in the form kushiyim, in Amos, is uniformly translated Ethiopians, following Septuagint. The other Old Testament books use simply kush, for people as well as land.
