(chyoo' sshan-rihssh uh thay ihm) KJV spelling of Cushan-rishathaim. Mesopotamian king who oppressed Israel until he was defeated by Othniel the son of Kenaz (Judges 3:8 ). The name of this Mesopotamian ruler means Chushan of double iniquity. It probably was a derogatory epithet rather than his actual name. See Judges.
