Kushan Rishathayim -- king of Aram-naharaim Kushan -- a region of Arabia Cushan , a region of Arabia. Cu'shan-rishatha'Im 2 Occurrences. His power is the terror of all the world around him; the insignia of it being, not the sword or the fasces, but the pestilence and devouring fire; and so great is the dread of him, that the Canaanites flee at his approach, the land trembles at his presence, and the nations around are not able to hide their dismay.
Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary God's people, when in distress, and ready to despair, seek help by considering the days of old, and the years of ancient times, and by pleading them with God in prayer. The resemblance between the Babylonish and Egyptian captivities, naturally presents itself to the mind, as well as the possibility of a like deliverance through the power of Jehovah.
God appeared in his glory. All the powers of nature are shaken, and the course of nature changed, but all is for the salvation of God's own people. Even what seems least likely, shall be made to work for their salvation. Hereby is given a type and figure of the redemption of the world by Jesus Christ.
It is for salvation with thine anointed. Joshua who led the armies of Israel, was a figure of Him whose name he bare, even Jesus, our Joshua. In all the salvations wrought for them, God looked upon Christ the Anointed, and brought deliverances to pass by him. All the wonders done for Israel of old, were nothing to that which was done when the Son of God suffered on the cross for the sins of his people. How glorious his resurrection and ascension!
And how much more glorious will be his second coming, to put an end to all that opposes him, and all that causes suffering to his people! Barnes' Notes on the Bible I saw - in prophetic vision 1 Kings The tents of Cushan in under affliction - Upon the coming of the Lord there follows the visitation of those alien from Him.
Cushan-Rishathaim was the first, whose ambition God overruled to chasten His people Judges It has been remarked that as "king of Aram-Naharaim" or North Mesopotamia, he was probably sovereign of the Aram, from which Balak king of Moab, allied with Midian, sent for Balaam to curse Israel.
Midian was the last enemy who, at the very entrance of the promised land, seduced God's people into idolatry and foul sin and lusts. Midian became then the object of the wrath of God Numbers They were also among the early oppressors of Israel, leaving Judges , Judges Both the kingdom of Aram-Naharaim and Midian disappear from history after those great defeats.
The order of events alluded to by the prophet seems to favor this supposition. First he appears to refer to former acts of divine favor Judges ; he then speaks of the wonders at the giving of the Law, "God came from Teman, and the Holy One from Mount Paran;" and he adds, "I saw the tents of Cushan in affliction: [and] the tent-curtains of the land of Midian did tremble," as thou, h referring to the fear of the enemies of Israel at the manifestations of God's favor for his people.
Chushan-rishathaim, the first recorded oppressor of the days of the Judges, may have been already reigning at the time of the entrance into Palestine. The Midianites, certainly allied with the Moabites at that time, feared the Israelites, and plotted against them Numbers ; and it is noticeable that Balaam was sent for from Aram Numbers , perhaps the Aram-naharaim of the oppressor.
Habakkuk afterwards alludes to the crossing of Jordan or the Red Sea, or both Numbers ; Numbers , to the standing still of the sun and moon 11 , and apparently to the destruction of the Canaanites 12, 13, There is, however, good reason for the supposition that Cushan here stands for an Asiatic Cush see Meth.
